I write this from my hotel room in OKC. I should tell you first that OKC is my hometown. I knew the Murrah Building before 1995. I am back home from Florida for a football game in Norman, something that I do once a year. And I moved out of state three weeks before the bombing after living here all my life. I personally knew or was acquainted with several of the victims and first responders. So all very personal for me. My wife from Tennessee hadn't been through the museum at all, and I hadn't since I guess 2003. We went to the museum this morning. We've been through museums all over the world. All the Smithsonians, the Louvre, the British Museum. Nothing quite prepared me for what I experienced today. People I knew brought to life. The artifacts were absolutely breathtaking. The range of emotions that I experienced are really hard to convey in words, but I'll try. Horror. Anger. Sadness. Pride. Patriotism. I recalled a teacher who died that day that had a profound impact on my life and career. The nephew of a friend who died in the daycare. Friends who lost their wives. The anger that an American did this. But also the pride of not just my hometown, but of Americans of all strips who came to help. If you haven't visited in a while, please do. It's dramatically different than it was in the early days, which is saying something. It was amazing in 2003. This is an entirely different experience, one that's informative and though provoking. And if you care about this country and the threats that face it from domestic terrorism, you owe it to yourself to experience it for yourself. The museum brought it all back for me. I think it will for you too.

Every aspect of this museum and memorial was thought out and very well executed. Each soul lost, has a picture box and a small token ( something that represents an interest, hobby, or life mission inside) One had a can of hairspray and her picture told the story. Perfect hair. Recently, school children were asked to choose one of the people, learn all about that individual and paint a picture of the person or their life. The paintings are spectacular. The talent and responsibility each student took is readily apparent. This undertaking brought lessons of the past to the present by making the events relevant to this generation including understanding, loss, healing, community and resilience. This museum should be on a bucket list.

I was looking forward to seeing this during a visit to OKC to see family, and it was a very moving and memorable experience to say the least. I HIGHLY recommend the EYEwitness tour. It’s only on Friday mornings, so book ahead. You’re granted access to the museum before it opens for a special tour, guided by someone that had been personally affected by the attack. In our case, it was a wonderful woman named Donna that had lost her husband. Hearing such a personal and intimate account of what it was like to live through a tragedy like this was absolutely incredible, I can’t even express my admiration of her strength and positive attitude- it was truly inspiring. It also included a trip down into the archives to see artifacts that aren’t included in the regular exhibit. Once the tour was over, we were able to go through the museum again and more fully absorb the exhibits. It is set up in a way that is both incredibly informative and extremely moving. They have some amazing things on display, like McVeigh’s getaway car and the rear axle housing from the rented truck. If you’re in the area, you absolutely must visit this.
