Timothy McVeigh, the home-grown terrorist who detonated the bomb in Oklahoma City that killed 168 people, was taken into custody after a routine traffic stop the day of the attack. He nearly was released before authorities traced him to the crime. McVeigh was executed in 2001. #OklahomaCity #Crime #History | NewsNation

From the soft glow of the Chairs to the illuminated branches of the Survivor Tree, the Outdoor Symbolic Memorial is transformed under the night sky. Visit our website to learn more about the elements of the Memorial: MemorialMuseum.com | Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum

Last night, Family Members, Survivors, and First Responders on our Conscience Committee joined with our Teen Board to place wreaths on each of the 168 chairs in the Field of Empty Chairs. Thank you to Total Environment for providing the wreaths and for helping us place them with care. #BeTheLight | Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum
