Since the marathon bombings a year ago, people of Boston have demonstrated in an inspiring and courageous manner, the application of the skills and the attitudes of resilience. They have shown us how to come together and connect with others and stand together against those forces that would divide and separate us. They have shown us how to manage strong feelings and how to find purpose and meaning in tragedy.
Boston Strong has been about finding confidence in ourselves and our community, that we will not be frightened away and give up those things that are important to us. The recognition that we gave on April 15th to those who were there on April 15, 2013 -- the first responders, the victims and their families and the people of New England -- is proof that we will bounce back in the face of adversity. We will care for ourselves and others both physically and emotionally. We will not allow the acts of terrorists to achieve their goals. We are strong.
