Visited the National Memorial today. It was an overcast day, rather gloomy actually. Sort of fits. It is daunting to visit the site. I have included a number of photos which explain what I saw.

Across the street is a little memorial in which a statue of Jesus crying for the tragedy is located. Very moving

To enter the outdoor memorial, you enter through this portal. Notice the inscription.
Chairs
Inside the memorial, you will observe rows and rows of bronze chairs. One for each of the 188 people killed here. The name is inscribed on the bottom. These chairs sit on the site of the building blown up.
Reflecting pool and arches
On each end of the outside door site are two arches. One has the time 9:01 and 9:03. 9:01 is when everything was quiet. 9:03 is when the building has been demolished. That means the explosion occured at 9:02. Between the two arches is a reflecting pool.

Here is a bronze statue of John Wayne.
