The memorial for the Oklahoma bombing was a powerful and emotional sight. There are two walls (gates of time) with a "reflecting pool" in the middle. One wall says 9:01 representing the innocence of the city before the attack. The reflecting pool symbolizes the attack and destruction. And the other wall says 9:03 represents the moment we changed forever and the hope that came from the horrir in the moments and days following the bombing.
There is also a field of chairs for all the lives that were lost. The smaller chairs represent the children.
The girls leave their imprint on one of the walls.
A chainlink fence is covered with letters and toys for the children who died. A very emotional sight.
Looks like you guys are having fun!! Keep up the good work.
