Today marks the 26th anniversary of the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City where 168 people were killed. AFGE honors the memory of the federal employees and other victims that were so needlessly and suddenly lost. We mourn alongside the families who continue to grieve today. Thirty-five members of our AFGE union family who worked in the Department of Housing and Urban Development and 16 in the Social Security offices died that day. We renew our pledge to protect the health and safety needs of all government employees.
