How many have visited the memorial in OKC??? I have gone 2 times...once when the fence and much of the debri was still there...the second was after the memorial was built. Both trips were emotional...I would encourage all who are in the area to make an effort to stop by...

The picture of the firefighter carrying the bleeding baby made me cry for months afterwards. Too hard to watch the coverage after that.
