Please take a few moments to reflect on the past…

It is a beautiful Spring day here in Oklahoma City, not unlike the day fifteen years ago when the city was forever changed. Timothy McVeigh parked a truck loaded with explosives in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and at 9:02 am, the truck exploded, killing 168 people, including 19 children. Today survivors, rescuers and relatives of the victims gathered to remember those who died. They began a memorial service with 168 seconds of silence, one for each victim. Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett talked about the choices made after the bombing, saying “We have chosen strength. We have chose optimism. We have chosen freedom.”
Well, sure, if you believe the official story…
