Boston: Remembering is not enough.

Tweet

Watched the horrifying footage of the Boston Marathon bombing on the news in April of 2013, and the aftermath that necessitated a city wide lock down, and the subsequent arrest of the bomber who hid in a boat. Lives were lost, and limbs, too, of runners whose passion was to make it to the finish line. And yet, despite the tragedy, the police dauntlessly pursued the case, and the FBI relentlessly searched, figuring out the terrorists' action, and in the end, capturing. The movie entitled Patriots Day tells the story of that nerve-wracking week, including the suspension of civilian freedom of movement, through a writ, confining the citizenry in their own abodes, till the manhunt produces the bomber. Recommending the movie, simply because the accounts of the story must be remembered, for these entailed the courage and resolve of the Boston strong, not just the persistence of the police and the resiliency of the victims, but the entire people of Boston who showed what the strength of the people means.
