Both Waco and Oklahoma City affected two of my closest friends. One of my friends was one of the exit counselors that private families hired to help some of the Branch Davidians escape the compound. Some actually made it out, but he has never forgotten the ones who didn't.
My friend, now husband, served as a grief counselor for families after the OKC bombing. He said that it was just amazing and crazy to listen to story after story...my wife, my new husband, my baby...it made a huge impact on his life. He has never forgotten.
As I read your post I could only imagine how you and your friends, having experienced first hand, these two horrific events , coped with the reality of what you had experienced...twice.
I don't believe in coincidences....you people are special.
