April 19, 2002Was it really 7 Years Ago?April 19, 1995 the unthinkable happened. At 9:01 am a Ryder truck parked alongside the Alfred P. Murrah building changed Oklahoma forever. I remember the shockwaves that shook the building I was in, some 20 miles away. It felt like the roof was caving in. It didn't. 168 others were not so lucky. I am proud to be an Oklahoman, and I am proud of the strength of our state. I am also proud of this nation, and her ability to comfort, cry and unite in the face of two horrible acts of terrorisim in such a short time span. On this day, seven years later, I wanted to share a few thoughts, and a few photos I took just after the unthinkable events of September 11, 2001. For some reason, after the towers fell, I could think of no place more appropriate to reflect, to cry, and to pray. Here are a few other sites worth a moment of rememberance: * Photo Album from MSN communities It is late, but since I've never documented my memories of that day, maybe I will work on it sometime today. But for now, let us remember those who were lost. file this under SoulPosted by on April 19, 2002 @ April 19, 2002 01:35 AM 5 folks had something to say |

Posted by: KneeCole at April 19, 2002 8:33 PMTo this day I still cannot look at bombing and memorial-related photos without breaking down and crying. I was doing ok until I got to the Jesus statue at the bottom. On April 20th it was simply impossible to imagine any day being worse than the one that had just passed, until I woke up on September 12th. My OU graduation day will always be bittersweet because the flags flew at half-mast being just days afterwards... This is the first year since it happened that TV had to remind me of the event rather than just instinctively "knowing". Thanks for sharing the photos!
