This was the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City sometime after 9:03 am on April 19, 1995.
Husband and I were married and living at Green Acres. I don't remember exactly what I was up to that day, but I remember being glued to the TV and wondering how anyone could do that to Oklahoma.
It is unfortunate they could not have killed him 168 times, once for each of the people he so wrongly murdered. Along with our friends "Daisy & Onslo" we viewed the site in person. It was humbling and heartbreaking. Almost indescribable. If you have not been to the OKC Memorial you must go. It is very well done. A memorial scholarship was set up a year or so later in honor of a little boy baby who was killed in the day care. He was from a sheep showing family and the plaque in his honor shows him pictured with a show lamb and an Oklahoma State cap. My neice Michelle was the first recipient. I cannot look (nor type about) that honor with dry eyes. Even though we did not know that family, they have blessed our family through their loss. Their baby would be 15 or 16 now with show lambs in tow. Do pray for them.
GOD BLESSES OKLAHOMA EVERYDAY!
