OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Rudy Giuliani told mourners gathered at the former site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on Thursday that the strength they showed after the bombing 12 years ago is an inspiration for survivors of Sept. 11 and the Virginia Tech shootings.
The presidential hopeful told the gathering of more than 300 at the Oklahoma City National Memorial that Oklahoma City became a "model of compassion and strength" after the bombing.
"A model that helped us several years later get through Sept. 11," said Giuliani, who was mayor of New York City at the time, "and a model that will help the people of Virginia Tech get through the terrible agonies that they are going through right now."
