	Compassionate Friends National Walk to Remember...It was aweseome!!!
	On the walk to remember, we passed right by the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial!! WOW-- what an experience! Once again, words cannot describe it! For something so awful-- that something so beautiful can come of it-- is just amazing!! This picture shows the 'Field Of Empty Chairs' representing each person that died that day.
	This is the original Memorial Wall-- which is still kept up since the day of the bombing!!
