Hundreds Mark 15th Anniversary of Oklahoma City Bombing
-------------------------------------------------------



Hundreds of people gathered in Oklahoma City on Monday to mark the
fifteenth anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal
Building that killed 168 people and wounded over 600 others. Homeland
Security Secretary Janet Napolitano addressed a crowd that included
survivors of the attack and relatives of the dead.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano: “We honor the continued
need for vigilance against the violent ideologies that led to this
attack, so that we can recognize their signs in our communities and
stand together to defeat them. And above all, we remind ourselves that
what defines us as a nation, as a people and as communities is not what
we have suffered but how we have risen above it, how we have overcome.”
