As in previous years, the tenth anniversary of the bombing observances began with a service at 9: 02 a.m., marking the moment the bomb went off, with the traditional 168 seconds of silence--one second for each person who was killed as a result of the blast . The service also included the traditional reading of the names, read by children to symbolize the future of Oklahoma City . </P> <P> Vice President Dick Cheney, former President Clinton, Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry, Frank Keating, Governor of Oklahoma at the time of the bombing, and other political dignitaries attended the service and gave speeches in which they emphasized that "goodness overcame evil".

Bush made note of the anniversary in a written statement, part of which echoed his remarks on the execution of Timothy McVeigh in 2001: "For the survivors of the crime and for the families of the dead the pain goes on ." Bush was invited but did not attend the service because he was en route to Springfield, Illinois, to dedicate the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum . Cheney attended the service in his place . </P>
