OKLAHOMA CITY — Thursday will mark 17 years since the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Downtown Oklahoma City was bombed.
In remembrance of that historic event, an Oklahoma University is flying special flags over their campus.

There are 168 American flags and another 168 Oklahoma flags proudly waving at those on and off of the campus of Oklahoma Christian University.
