I have been to the memorial of the Oklahoma City Bombing several times but I haven't been able to go through the museum.

The last time I was in NYC I visited this memorial and I've got a post ready for Friday morning, but the museum wasn't open yet. I spent my teenage years in the NY suburbs and thinking of the day can still bring tears to my eyes.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07826369816985788575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4742343364632742295.post-34155886783784805642015-09-09T19:48:27.168-04:002015-09-09T19:48:27.168-04:00On a recent trip to New York I chose not to visit ...On a recent trip to New York I chose not to visit the site.

It makes it very personal and emotional that you share your feelings as a person who lived ans worked there and knew some of the people.

What touched me greatly was reading about the color of the sky installation and the touch screen with the photos and stories of each person who died. I think this memorial is a wonderful tribute to those who lost their lives that day which has changed us all no matter where we live. We do need to change personally to see the changes we wish to see.

I went to the twin towers quite often in my job and as a reporter, covered Mayor Giuliani and the aftermath of events following the attacks. I was not prepared to go back to see the site since the museum and observation deck opened, but I think it's time. Like you, I'm sure I'll be crying through most of it, but it's something that needs to be remembered forever. The quote from Virgil is particularly poignant.

Our family lost a dear friend, a college buddy of our sons, who helped to build our CO house before he went on to his real vocation as an aerospace engineer. He was not yet 30 years old, newly married, and he had just completed a meeting in the Pentagon and was flying back to CA when terrorists took over the plane and crashed it into the Pentagon. We can never forget that awful day in our Nation's history.
