Oklahoma City National Memorial

"We came here to remember those who were killed, those who survived and those changed forever.
May all who leave here know the impact of the violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity."

A huge explosion rocked Oklahoma's Murrah Federal Building on April 19, 1995. Its effects quickly spread throughout the nation . . . and the questions followed.
The painful memory remains for all personally touched by the bombing. The story continued on after the blast with immediate rescue operations, physical and emotional aid, and the design of a meaningful memorial.
