a packed day in history
As I sit and watch as the new Pope is announced and appears for the first time, I am reminded of many other events that have also taken place on this day.
Two events I that remember, and that are directly tied together - The Oklahoma City Bombing (Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building) ten years ago and the burning Branch Davidian compound twelve years ago.
Other moments in history on April 19th:
- The beginning of the American Revolution (1775)
- Ride of Paul Revere
- First blood shed in the America Civil War (1861)
