Former President Bill Clinton Will Be in Oklahoma City for the Memorial on the 30th Anniversary of the Bombing
Tomorrow is the 30th anniversary of the Oklahoma City bombing and the man that was President on that date will be in attendance at the memorial once again.
Back in 1995, Bill Clinton was about half way through his first term as President of the United States of America. On April 19, 1995 he had to deal with what was probably his most stressful day as President up until that point. 168 people were killed in a terrorist attack on American soil.
Clinton said every President has those days that they will never forget during their presidency. April 19, 1995 is one of those days for the former President. So he wants to honor those lives that were tragically lost on that day by being in attendance for the 30th anniversary memorial tomorrow. He has also been in attendance at several other anniversaries throughout the past few decades and Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt appreciates the former president for being in attendance during these ceremonies.
"Any time you have sort of those symbolic – 20th, 25th, 30th, you know – you get a little extra attention. We've also been very blessed that President Clinton has come at pretty much every one of those five-year anniversaries, so he is coming on April 19," Holt said. "He was the president when this happened. It was his role, and the response was certainly notable, and he definitely pulled the country together in that time when the act itself was intended to spark a civil war. And, you know, that's not what happened, and I think President Clinton gets a lot of credit for that."
Where Will the Oklahoma City Ceremony Be Taking Place?
Tomorrow, a chance of rain exists in the forecast for Oklahoma City so they have moved the ceremony indoors to First Church. It was scheduled to take place outside at the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial and Museum. The event is scheduled to start at 8AM with the doors to First Church opening at 7:30.
