Oklahoma City and the WTC Memorial
I was in Oklahoma City this week for the commemoration of the 11th year since the Oklahoma City Bombing. Their Memorial is awesome - designed and built with love, heart and soul. It so respectfully and sensitively memorializes the victims, celebrates the survivors and honors the rescue workers. It is about the “people” - not about the “absence of Towers” or about the “rebuilding of a site”. Visiting the Memorial and the Memorial Museum was an overwhelmingly powerful - yet, comforting, uplifting and unforgettable experience. I will fight for an above ground Memorial with my last breath, but I don’t believe we will ever have a Memorial as fitting, respectful and powerful as Oklahoma City has.
