The RHOK McLinky Monday is to tell your story of where you were April 19,1995. I honestly don't remember much about it. I was a senior in high school in Alabama, so I was in school I'm sure, preoccupied with teenage things. Being so far away and so young I didn't grasp the magnitude of the situation. Fast forward about 15 years and now we live in Oklahoma. I was honored to visit the memorial about 2 years ago. I went to it, still not understanding it, but after going through the museum I was very touched. I couldn't even complete the tour because it was so emotional to see all of those pieces left and knowing that they once belonged to real people. I didn't realize the magnitude of the damage either. How far reaching the devastation was. I am proud to be a part of Oklahoma, if only for a little while.
I haven't been in the museum. I only visited the Memorial for the first time 5 years ago. It is a very emotional place. Thank you for linking up w/ The RHOK. ♥Mrs. Hart♥
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that the museum can bring the reality of it to the participants. I'm looking forward to going this summer. 15 years seems like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?

It was interesting reading someone's perspective that wasn't here during that time.
ReplyDeleteJodie, thanks for participating on MckLinky Monday!
Thanks for stopping by and linking up! The memorial is beautiful and I plan on taking the kids this summer. They, too, need to see it, even if they weren't around 15 years ago.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting your pics. I haven't been to see the memorial yet, and I enjoyed seeing it through your eyes.
