We had some down time today so we took the opportunity to visit the Oklahoma City National Memorial. It is a beautiful memorial. The memorial stands where the Murrah Building was. The field of 168 chairs symbolize the lives lost. The chairs are arranged in nine rows, one for each floor of the building. The Gates of Time frame the reflecting pool that occupies what was once 5th Street. And the 90+ year old tree survived the bombing. The memorial really makes you stop and reflect on what a gift each day is.
