The clock was donated to this location at the Oklahoma City National Memorial by Hobby Lobby and Sandridge Energy.

If you haven't visited the Oklahoma City National Memorial, you really ought to go out of your way to visit. There are only a few events that happen every decade that reaches out and touches people. This to me, happens to be one of them that can never be erased from the collective mind.
