Just a few days ago I was in Oklahoma City and went to the memorial at the Murrah Building. They have a lawn set up with chairs on it for each person who died in the attack. Each chair has a name etched in to it of the person it represents. Some of the chairs are small, and they represent the children who died that day.
Seeing it like that, seeing a monument to each individual, seeing the children, really brought home the tragedy of that day. It was quite emotional for me.
