It some how seems like it's been longer than 5 years to me. Perhaps because the possibility of terrorism in my country became very real to me on April 19th, 1995. That day the world changed for me, for all of my fellow Oklahomans as well.
While I will not compare our loss to 9/11, it was the first day that I got a good look at my fellow americans, and saw what it really meant to be one. During that period of time, we sent many people to help out in the rescue and recovery, just as NY did when we had ours. It's not everyday that you can have something in common with a city like New York, even if you wish, for both cities, that you didn't have that commonality at all.
To all those lost to terrorism at any time in history, all over the world.
Rest well my brothers and sisters.
