December 1999
In memory of the FHWA folks who lost their lives in the line of duty during the Oklahoma City bomb explosion in April 1995, FHWA's Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center employees decorated the grove of 11 redbud trees with lights for the holiday season. The grove was planted in October of 1995 in a memorial service led by then-FHWA Administrator Rodney Slater.
