SIGN-UP DAY
Memorializing

by Governor Brad Henry
April 19 will mark the 13th anniversary of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing in Oklahoma City.
While the passage of time inevitably softens memories of even the most heartwrenching events, the imprint of that tragedy forever altered the physical and psychological landscape of Oklahoma.
The story of the bombing and its aftermath is effectively captured at the Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum. More than 500,000 people from all over the world visit the museum each year to remember and to learn. It is a powerful experience that speaks to the horrors of violence and the tranquility of peace. If you have never visited this remarkable place, I would urge you to do so.One of the most astounding things about the memorial and museum is how truly inspiring it is. 
A day of death and devastation was also marked by tales of heroism, compassion and generosity. Indeed, April 19, 1995, highlights a state and nation that met tragedy with triumph. In ceremonies commemorating the 10th anniversary of the bombing, I remarked that the homegrown terrorists behind the crime had hoped to incite a revolution. They miscalculated. There was no revolution, but there was revelation in the outpouring of love and concern that followed. People from across the globe reached out to Oklahoma City in its time of grief. And Oklahomans pulled together, displaying a resilience and strength of character that came to be known as “the Oklahoma standard.”The Oklahoma City National Memorial and Museum does not whitewash the suffering of April 19 — far from it. But it also pays homage to the more enduring legacy of that day: the goodness of humanity.During this year’s observance of the bombing tragedy, let us reflect on the lives lost and changed forever. But let us also recall that darkness was followed by light.
