Oklahoma City National Memorial

The Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building was a United States Government

complex located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and the target of the

Oklahoma City bombing. On the morning of April 19, 1995, Timothy

McVeigh parked a rented Ryder truck with explosives in front of the

complex and, at 9:02am, a massive explosion occurred which sheared

the entire north side of the building, killing 168 people.

The Oklahoma City National Memorial is in the middle of down town

Oklahoma City in the midst of a busy city but it is one of the most

peaceful places on earth to me. These chairs represent the souls that

were lost on that day. They are on the ground were the building ones

stood. There is a chair for each soul, with the name of the person

engrave on the glass on the bottom.
