This resolution commemorates the 30th anniversary of the April 19, 1995 terrorist bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which killed 168 people including 19 children and injured over 850 others in the deadliest domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history. The Senate formally expresses condolences to victims' families and recognizes the courage of first responders, volunteers, and community members who aided survivors and demonstrated what became known as the "Oklahoma Standard" of service and resilience. The resolution honors the Oklahoma City National Memorial, which serves as a place of remembrance and draws hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, and celebrates symbols of hope like the Survivor Tree that withstood the blast. The measure directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit a copy to the Oklahoma City National Memorial Foundation and encourages Americans to embody the values of compassion and unity demonstrated by Oklahomans during the tragedy and recovery.
