Join Us for Our Two Remaining
First Person: Stories of Hope Programs
August 13, 2013
Join us for our two remaining First Person: Stories of Hope programs and hear remarkable stories of compassion and inspiration. This unique program provides Museum visitors the opportunity to hear personal accounts from family members, survivors, law enforcement and others about how their tragedy transformed into hope after the devastation of the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building.
Charlie Hanger, Noble County Sheriff, will share his personal story of inspiration and divine intervention on Friday, August 16 at 1:30pm. The former Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper arrested Timothy McVeigh, who was later convicted of the bombing. As McVeigh was taken into custody, Hanger had no idea that he had just arrested the most wanted man in America. Experience history as well as Charlie Hanger’s commitment to enhance the quality of life for those around him.
Sheriff John Whetsel closes out our summer series on Friday, August 23 at 1:30pm. Whetsel was charged with housing Terry Nichols in the Oklahoma County Jail prior to the state trial. Court hearings were held in the basement of the jail to avoid transfers outside the security of the jail. Sheriff Whetsel started his law enforcement career in 1967 and has served as Sheriff of Oklahoma County since 1997.
"This program allows our visitors to hear first-hand the stories of overcoming the crisis and rebuilding our city," said Kari Watkins, Executive Director of the Oklahoma City National Memorial & Museum.
This program is free with Museum admission.
