The two bombs may have shaken Boston on Monday, but our spirit is in tact.
We’re proud Bostonians – and the whole world has watched as we have risen stronger. President Barack Obama highlighted the Boston spirit on Thursday.
“Your resolve is the greatest rebuke to whoever committed this heinous act. If they sought to intimidate us, to terrorize us, to shake us from those values that Deval described, the values that make us who we are, as Americans — well, it should be pretty clear by now that they picked the wrong city to do it. Not here in Boston. Not here in Boston,” he said.
The phrase Boston Strong is everywhere as we move on from the tragedy, comfort those who lost loved ones and help those seriously injured on Monday.
We do so as one – as Bostonians. We don’t let this tragedy stop us.
We packed the TD Garden for the first sporting event in Boston since the bombings – and 18,000 Bostonians sang in unison.
We wait for the day when Copley Square is open to the public again so we can flood those stores and show we will not be deterred.
Today, on Boston Spirit Day, we at Patch are asking our readers – not just in Greater Boston but around the world – to post photos showing them in their Boston gear. Simply click on the upload your photo button and let us where you live.
Let’s show everyone how we’re all Boston Strong!
