Oklahoma City National Memorial
Wednesday, 11th May 2005 by James Turnbull
The Oklahoma City National Memorial honours the victims, survivors, rescuers, and all who were changed by the Oklahoma City Bombing of April 19, 1995. It stands on the site of the Alfred P. Murrah building and is the largest memorial of its kind in the U.S.A.
At the top of the thumbnail you can see the rectangular reflecting pool with the "gates of time" at either end. In the southern half is the "Rescuers' Orchard", a grove of fruit and flowering trees that surround the "Survivor Tree", an elm that survived the bombing.
