Clinton approached the end of his first term when the attack occurred. At the event of the 30th anniversary, he remembered the day of The tragedy.
“Thirty years ago I thought I would have a completely different day than I woke up,” Clinton told the participants of the event on Saturday. “I jog with the winners of the Boston marathon and gave myself the illusion and an illusion that I was somehow quite fit. And then I returned to the white house and the devastating news.”

The former president also spoke about the beauty and meaning of the “Oklahoma Standard”, a spirit of resilience and unity that was created in response to the bomb attacks. Clinton said he wished “every American would get a copy of the Oklahoma standard in the post or on his cell phone tomorrow. I bet it would have a great influence.”
He asked Oklahomans to take the spirit of the “Oklahoma Standard” and spread it all over the country. He said he was grateful for the existence of the standard.
