We will never forget this day. And for those who may not know - it was an OHP Trooper who arrested Timothy McVeigh. Charlie Hanger pulled over McVeigh on I-35 in Noble County and arrested him. McVeigh was still in the Noble County jail two days later when the FBI identified him as a suspect in the bombing.

Today, we remember and honor the individuals who tragically lost their lives in Oklahoma City thirty-one years ago. We pray for the families, who were forever impacted, as well as all our first responders, who quickly stepped in to assist survivors.

We will always remember!
