We Come to Remember

by Charlie Smith

By the time you read this, I will have run in the Oklahoma City Memorial Half Marathon, my 12th time competing in a race of 13.1 miles. (It still amazes me to write that sentence.) Even if you are not a runner, I encourage you to mark next year’s race on your calendar and attend the early-morning Starting Line ceremony. There, 168 seconds of silence are observed in honor of the victims of the 1995 bombing – a moving experience beyond words that always leaves me in tears. Also, the Memorial’s Mission Statement, captured on the symbolic 9:03 gate facing west, is read: "We come here to remember those who were killed, those who survived, and those changed forever. May all who leave here know the impact of violence. May this memorial offer comfort, strength, peace, hope and serenity." READ MORE
