The Oklahoma City bombing was a domestic terrorist truck bombing on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, on April 19, 1995. The bombing happened at 9:02 a.m. and killed at least 168 people, injured more than 680 others, and destroyed one-third of the building.

Among those who were killed, the Secret Service lost that day: Special Agent Cynthia Brown, Special Agent Donald Leonard, Special Agent Mickey Maroney, Office Manager Linda McKinney, Investigative Assistant Kathy Seidl, and Assistant Special Agent in Charge Alan Whicher.

The host of Standing Post, Cody Starken, had the honor of interviewing 4 surviving family members of individuals who perished on that day. Mickey Maroney and Alice Denison, children of Special Agent Mickey Maroney; Mr. Glenn Seidl, former husband of IA Kathy Seidl; and Ms. Diane Leonard, former wife of Special Agent Donald Leonard.
