We Remember - FHWA Oklahoma City Memorial Page

In the autumn of 1995, the Federal Highway Administration planted 11 redbud trees on this site to commemorate the lives of 11 FHWA family members. Our colleagues and 157 others died when a terrorist's bomb destroyed the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on April 19, 1995. These trees are a living tribute to these dedicated public servants. |

April 19, 1995. It should have been an ordinary day. 9:02 a.m. Our country and our lives changed forever. The Federal Highway Administration family remembers our loved ones and their families. Most especially, we honor those whose strength and commitment were undeterred in their continued service to the American People. |
WE REMEMBERApril 19th marks the anniversary of a painful moment in our history. On that date in 1995, we lost 11 valued employees. Please take a moment for silent reflection on April 19th at 9:02 a.m., Central Daylight Time, to think of those we lost, those who survived, and those who continue to serve our partners and customers in Oklahoma. Also, please keep their families and other loved ones in your thoughts and prayers. One way we can continue to support the families of the employees we lost is through the Federal Employee Education and Assistance (FEEA) Department of Transportation (DOT)/Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)/Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)/Okalahoma City (OKC) Memorial and Scholarship Fund. If you are interested in making a contribution, you can make your check payable to FEEA DOT/FHWA/FMCSA-OKC Memorial Fund and send it to: Federal Employee Education and Assistance Fund The fund was established specifically for the FHWA and FMCSA employees and their families. There is an advisory board consisting of the DOT, FHWA, and FMCSA employees that prioritizes and directs financial assistance to the areas of greatest need. Funds sent to FEEA are used to help pay the college costs of the FHWA and FMCSA children who lost a parent in the bombing. Thank you for continuing to remember and honor those individuals who were lost and the strength and perseverance of those they left behind. We will always remember. |
