I was in OKC, April 19, 1995not far from the Murrah Building. I was in high school, we were visiting the hospital as part of a junior leadership program.
I cannot begin to describe the fear or the chaos of that day 30 years ago.
My heart is with all who were impacted that day.

Bill Clinton, Oklahoma City commemorate 1995 bombing amid extremism fears
The former president said “service, honor and kindness” are what’s needed today instead of the heated political rhetoric putting the country at risk.
