In memory of all of those who lost their lives on that awful day in this country’s history.
Here is the front page of the New York Times: April 19, 1995.
May everyone who lost family members find some peace. Shreds of peace, perhaps, but peace nonetheless.
Michele (who is blogging again, on her own damn terms, hoo-yah!) has some very moving links and images.
I can’t believe it’s been nine years. Those poor families.
I know. Reading the original New York Times article felt like I was reading something from 176 years ago. A different world, different concerns.
A tragic day.
Red I don’t think that was a different world, or different concerns. It was the same problem we face today, only for reasons that remain truly opaque, we did not understand or accept what happened or what it meant.
I just meant it is completely strange to read an article about a massive terror attack on US soil and have it not mention 9.11.
Ah. To me it’s strange when they talk about 9/11 and don’t mention Oklahoma City and the first WTC bombing.
AbsoLUTEly. It’s stunning. A stunning omission.
I posted my account of that day over at Michele’s site.
It is difficult for me to believe it’s been nine years.
Wow, Mike. Very intense. Thanks for telling the story. It is hard to believe it’s been 9 years.
Damn, how the hell did I forget about that? I did, however, remember that tomorrow is the five year anniversary of Columbine.
Man, April sucks.
For some reason, Columbine feels like it happened more than 5 years ago.
I remember just where I was.
