Resolution 15, introduced by Paxton, commemorates the 30th anniversary of the tragic bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, which occurred on April 19, 1995. This act of domestic terrorism resulted in the deaths of 168 individuals, including 19 children and three pregnant women, while also injuring hundreds more. The resolution honors the victims by listing their names and acknowledges the profound impact of this event on the community and the nation.

The resolution expresses gratitude towards the heroic first responders who acted during the crisis and emphasizes the importance of continued healing for all affected by the tragedy. It reflects on the words inscribed on the Oklahoma City National Memorial, which serve as a reminder of the lasting effects of violence and the need for comfort, strength, and hope. Ultimately, the Oklahoma State Senate aims to ensure that the memories of those lost and the resilience of survivors are honored on this significant anniversary.
