I was at the Memorial today and toured the museuem for the first time. Brought back some old feelings, but my point is at the end of the tour there is a walk way paved with pennies to the childrens area. With all the emotion I still wondered how many good pennies are forever in that floor. If you are ever in OKC spend the $10 to go through the museuem try to give it an 1.5 hrs. if not the memorial is great. talk to the Rangers because it does take some explaining.

Probably a memorial to the bombing by Timothy McVeigh. Sounds like a touching place, Coach.
Am I a good person doing bad things? Or a bad person doing good things?

Back in 1995, the Murrah Federal building was bombed downtown and many lives were lost in the tragedy. A very nice and touching memorial has been erected in the place of this building. There are two square walls at each end of where the building was-the first has 9:01 on it, the minute before the bombing, and 9:03 is on the 2nd, the minute after. In the middle is a reflection pool as well as a lit metal chair for each victim. There is a museum in the building that was beside the Federal building currently. At the end is the road of pennies mentioned that I believe were donated in a city fundraiser. It is definately worth the stop if you are ever in the area!
