Preserving History...Museum Artifacts Tell a Story

The Gallery of Honor is the area of the Museum in which each person who was killed on April 19, 1995, is remembered individually. Family members were asked to provide a photograph and an item(s) from their loved one’s life to be placed in a shadow box.

Robert Chipman, 51, worked in the Oklahoma Water Resources Board Building across the street from the Murrah Builidng. His wife, Gloria, wrote the following about him in a story for the computer interactive: “At the time of his death, he was working on his second Master’s degree in education. God, country and family were very important to Robert. He believed in equality and education. Besides being a decorated officer (U.S. Air Force veteran of Vietnam War, the Panama Invasion and the Gulf War), Robert was down to earth, a man with a dry sense of humor who enjoyed gardening, coin and stamp collecting, and the peaceful life of Oklahoma with his family…” Visit the Gallery of Honor interactive in the Museum to read more about Robert as well as other stories of those who were killed.
