Governor Henry Directs April 19 Remembrance Through Executive Order

April 16, 2010

Governor Brad Henry designated through executive order, that all American and Oklahoma flags on state property be flown at half-staff on April 19, 2010, to remember those lost in the April 19, 1995, bombing.

We shall never forget the one hundred sixty-eight Americans who lost their lives, including nineteen children, on that fateful day. We must never forget the more than eight hundred fifty others who were injured and bravely live on, emblematic of our great state and nation. The people of Oklahoma will never forget the courage and compassion of those from around the world who were involved in the rescue and recovery and who continue to share an outpouring of goodwill.
