Oklahoma City National Memorial
Dedicated to the victims of the Bombing in Oklahoma City of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building
|
|
Aaron took the following three photos on a solitary cross country photo journalism tour in 2007. He was humbled by the Oklahoma City National Memorial and would like our visitors to view the Memorial web site to learn more. |

Gates of Time
Two monumental gates stand as entrances to the Memorial site and frame the moment of destruction.
Reflecting Pool
Standing 3/4 of an inch deep, the calming water of this pool stands where 5th Street once stood, and shows the reflection of someone changed forever by their visit to the Memorial. |

Field of Empty Chairs
168 chairs stand in nine rows, each representing a floor of the building, and represent the 168 lives lost on April 19, 1995. The field is located in what was the footprint of the building. |

The Fence
What started as a protective barrier for the site became a symbol of support and hope as people from around the world left notes, stuffed animals, wreaths and other mementos after the bombing. A 200-foot section of the fence now sits on the "healing" western side of the Outdoor Symbolic Memorial, and visitors still leave items on a daily basis.
