From Jason (16 year old from Boston):

Our trip continued as we traveled over to Oklahoma City. The group was amazed at the memorial of the Federal Building in Oklahoma City, the site of the 1995 bombing. We spoke to a survivor of the blast, who gave us a blow-by-blow account of what happened that day on April 19th.  His name was V.Z. Lawton, and he talked to us about his theory of what transpired that day. We were astonished about what we heard.

We were running late, so we took our next speaker out to dinner with us. Dr. David Yeagley, an American Indian, We discussed many topics ranging from the image of American Indians to Patriotism. He was so impressed with our group he decided to write an article about what we are doing, for an academic journal.

After Dinner we went to Celebration Station, an amusement park, and played on bumper boats, go-karts, and mini-golf. After the fun, we went back to the memorial for our daily rap session. We were all overcome with emotions as we talked about how this event has effected so many. We all walked away from this day with a new appreciation for life.
