So I am back to school the 20th of next month. I have a class that I am looking forward to more so than any other. It is Dealing with Terrorism. Most of you may already know but for those of you that don't my father was in the Oklahoma City Bombing. He survived but ever since that day I have wanted to do something that could help people like him. I am very close to my father so it bothers me that he is in pain everyday because of the bombing. Once I am finished with my degree I will have a practicum. They offer with the Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT). The professor for this class just so happens to be the head of this program at the Oklahoma City Memorial. So let's all keep our fingers crossed that I make a good impression with Dr. Robison
There is a link to their web site on the right hand side of this page.

These people are the real heroes. They should be treated as one. Hurray to you and best of luck!
I remember when this happened. I was deployed overseas in the Marines. They didn't tell us about it for almost two months. So many peopple from my unit were from Oklahoma that they were afraid we would go AWOL to go home. Lost a few good friends that day. Both of the Marine Recruiters that died in the bombing were friends of mine. Cathy's husband Steve died that day to, she hasn't been the same since. I couldn't imagine knowing your Dad was there and not knowing if he was alive or not. Consider yourself lucky and cherish every day you have together because he did survive.
