In memory to all those who were murdered so callously in the Oklahoma City bombing.

We will not forget, and will do all we can to prevent such an atrocity from happening again.

Thanks, TB.

God be with those for whom the date April 19th is a sharp reminder of pain and loss.

Yes Foil, we will NEVER forget that a crazy, delusional, mentally ill coward killed a lot of INNOCENT men, women and children that day. It will always remain as a warning to all of us.

15 years ago today, if I remember rightly? Or yesterday, anyway.

Sad thing is that the idiot somehow thought that blowing up a government building full of mostly innocent employees and a day care center was somehow striking a blow against an evil and corrupt government. <sigh>

It's a sad world we live in.

Oaklahoma was actually the 2 year anniversary of Waco... Makes you wonder just a bit, doesn't it?

I have lived in Oklahoma City for most of my 53 years.

Born here and still live here.

The crazy part is just a few blocks away on the day before I was working in Downtown Oklahoma City about a 1/4 to 1/2 mile from the bomb site at the Murrah Building. When I went back downtown on May 18, 1995 it was then that it dawned on me of this occurrence.

A friend of mine survived the blast when the other 3 people in his office died. He was on the 4th floor and the blast caused him to be about a floor and a half below where he started.

He was thankful to just be alive and relatively unscathed.

He lived across the street just Northwest of the Murrah Building.

This just shows that tragedy can strike even in so called relatively safe places.

The 168 people that were counted were ONLY in the Murrah Building and didn't include others that died in other buildings from the concussion of the blast or that committed suicides later. 1 Nurse died while helping in the rescue efforts... not sure if they counted her too.
