In April 1995, Bud Welch's 23-year-old daughter, Julie Marie, was killed in the bombing of the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. In the months after her death, Bud changed from supporting the death penalty for Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols to taking a public stand against it. In 2001 Timothy McVeigh was executed for his part in the bombing.
Judge the crime not the person. Only god can do that. It takes a REAL man to let go of hate. You loved your daughter MORE than you hated the crime. You, sir have my full respect!
