I just made my first entry here on Wikipedia. I lived in Littleton CO in 1999 and witnessed the public aftermath of the Columbine High School tragedy. At my local church, I sang in the choir for the funeral of one of the victims. I visited the "memorial" at Clement Park several times. The park is adjacent to Columbine High School. I saw the flower shrouded red car. I also saw a long chain link fence installed which was immediately filled with "memorabilia"; it held teddy bears, cards, letters both sealed and attached openly, poems, and a large collection of small personal items from students & others.

Also at Clement Park is a "Hill" where 15 large wooden crosses were soon erected by an out-of-state carpenter. Twelve (12) students, one (1) teacher and the two (2) perpetrators made a total of fifteen (15) deaths at the school. The father of a victim reacted by using a chain saw to cut two of the crosses at their base, leaving two visible stumps. He publicly objected to the crosses, as symbols, including the killers. The hill had 13 crosses and those two stumps until the crosses were moved to another location.
