You know it's getting bad when memorial days for horrific events start overlapping. I was thinking this morning that it's a good thing Israel didn't adopt the secular date for Yom HaShoah. April 19th has come to have too many of its own unpleasant memories for Americans, which deserve separate consideration. Especially this one. Hard to believe it's been nine years.
Our top story this afternoon-- a memorial service filled with songs and prayers was held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma this morning.
Nine years ago, a bomb went off at the Murrah Federal Building. The blast killed 168 people shortly after 9 a.m. on April 19, 1995.
A ceremony at the Oklahoma City National Memorial included 168 seconds of silence, one second for each person who died in the bombing.
Children of the victims read the names of each person who died in the attack. Until September 11th, it was the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil.
Indeed. And today, potential new developments. Maybe.
