After being informed that we would be without power for at least three days and the closest hotel with vacancy was OKC we began our drive for power!! In OKC we stopped at the memorial were in April of 1995 the bombing occurred. The chairs represent the 168 men, women, and children killed that day. There are nine rows of chairs that represent the nine floors that were destroyed. Each row had a chair with the name of the person that was on that floor. At each end of the memorial is a arch that has the times 9:01 and 9:03. Those were the times of the bombings.
Behind Justin and I is what the memorial called the survivor tree. It gives you a sick feeling to know that there were so many kids that lost there lives that day. The wall of hands were child friends and family members that lost love ones.The saying on the wall was written by a rescuer that played a part in helping the city receive justice. It was definitely worth driving to OKC for. This was a very unfortunate event but the memorial set up for the city is wonderful.
