I haven't come up with anything to say about the anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, but I found someone who did. Kool- Aid was there and he tells us about that day.
Later that evening myself and several others who had training and experience in search and rescue were loaded into vans and left the base to go downtown to help with the search and recovery. I saw some things that will stay with me forever. I also saw the largest outpouring of human kindness and caring that I have ever seen.I remember the images on the TV and in newspapers and magazines. I can't imagine being there, in that time - bless him and all those who are willing and able to put themselves into those tragic situations.
I can't even imagine. Last week I saw a kitten after some dogs "played" with it. I still keep having flashes in my mind, and I don't even like cats. (would never wish that on one though) I would believe that even the rescuers had post traumatic stress. We remember the sights we saw on TV, would have been crushing to be up close and personal. God Bless the survivors!
