Cole Remembers Oklahoma City Bombing

Washington, DC – Congressman Tom Cole (OK-04) remembered the tragic bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing that took place 21 years ago today in Oklahoma City and claimed 168 innocent lives.

"Twenty-one years ago today, Oklahoma experienced the worst act of domestic terrorism in American history," said Cole. "One hundred sixty-eight precious lives were lost, and hundreds more were injured and permanently scarred. As we sorrowfully pause to remember those taken, we also grieve with the many families, loved ones and friends they left behind. We remain forever grateful for the heroic acts of rescue and recovery exhibited by first responders, the strong leadership displayed by our governing officials and the extraordinary outpouring of love from communities far beyond the borders of our state."
