If your tripping Route 66 or in the Oklahoma City area, this is a must visit location, that will live in your mind forever.
Please take the time to visit the Outdoor Symbolic Memorial, it's free & open 24/7. & If possible, the museum, the impact is incredible and not to be forgotten!

The A.P. Murrah Building was the scene of the worst home terrorist act on United States soil. This stunning & thought provoking, Symbolic Memorial & Museum, remembers the 168 who were lost & the 680 who were injured.

An idea from a Groundspeak Member gparkes : In order to remember the victims & not the perpetrator.

"So many senseless lives lost. With over 168 benches to choose, if you are planning ahead of time, choose someone that has not been named previously. If you are coming back, and see this waymark, do your best to memorialize in some form or way one of the lost.

Additionally, there is another category named "Dedicated Benches." I completed two, with the hopeful intention that others would follow suit and remember this tragedy."
