Patriot's Day
will now be remembered as the day of the
Boston Marathon bombing.
When I think of bombings I think of Baghdad…
not Boylston Street.
Patriots Day, a state holiday,
is a big deal in Boston.
Between the Boston Red Sox game
and the Boston Marathon…
it always brings thousands of tourists and locals into the city.
Who would think that as a spectator …
you'd end up running for your own life?
Through all the chaos, confusion…
and carnage…
it was hard to get in touch with people.
We couldn't talk with our Sweet Wishy
who lives at marathon mile marker 25.
Cell service was intentionally turned off…
leaving those trying to get in touch with loved ones
anxious.
anxious.
There have been hundreds of accounts of
self-less and heroic acts.
People offering to
house and pick up people who were stranded
after the bombings,
house and pick up people who were stranded
after the bombings,
feed them, give blood.
Bostonians are tough people...
with a wicked strong spirit.
with a wicked strong spirit.
During times like these Americans always reunite.
Republicans stop waving the red flag,
Democrats stop waving the blue flag,
and together we fly the
Red, White and Blue.
And as Americans
under one great flag
we lower the flag
in memory of those who lost their lives.
in memory of those who lost their lives.
