Today is the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing, which is the largest domestic terrorist attack that has happened in the U.S. On April 19th, 1995, 168 people died when Timothy McVeigh parked a van in front of a federal building filled with explosives.

Bill Clinton, who was president when the attack happened, lead the memorial ceremony today.

20th Anniversary of Oklahoma City Bombing Remembered

I was 2nd grade when this happened, and its the first big tragedy that I remember really registering with me. I lived in Copperas Cove, Texas, so Oklahoma was our neighboring state...I remember being asked to collect pennies for the recovery fund.

It feels like this event got overshadowed by 9/11 and it doesn't seem to get remembered nearly as much. Still, it deserves to be. Crazy when you think of those 19 children who should have been in their 20's and living life now. I will never forget the image of the firefighter carrying the baby that died.
