Gov. Stitt's entire tweet reads as follows.
Today, we pause in solemn remembrance of April 19, 1995, a day that forever changed Oklahoma. We honor the 168 innocent lives lost, the families who carry that grief each day, and all those whose lives were forever altered in an instant.
In the face of unimaginable tragedy, our first responders rushed toward danger without hesitation. Their courage, compassion, and tireless efforts in those first critical moments and the days that followed reflected the very best of who we are. We remain forever grateful for their service and sacrifice.
Out of heartbreak, the Oklahoma Standard was born- a spirit of unity, kindness, and resilience that brought neighbors together and lifted a grieving community. Oklahomans showed the nation, and the world, what it means to stand strong, to care for one another, and to rebuild with hope.
Today, we remember. We honor. And we carry forward that same spirit- committed to loving our neighbors, serving our communities, and never forgetting the lives that shaped our state’s story forever.
