Wow...what an emotional day yesterday. Its amazing to see the outpouring of Love and Thoughts on the internet and TV of those who were spared of this tragedy. Id like to share two posts that really caught my attention:
- So much for productivity today. I need to hear from all my friends and family in Boston.
- Five hours ago Boston was the happiest city in the country, and we will recover.
This is AMERICA and days like this prove why we are the greatest nation on earth. As a nation, we have pulled together to aid in this time of need and solve a problem. Its actually quite remarkable to me, especially when you see the polarized views our nation has in political issues.
Watching as everything last night unfolded I was awe struck by the police and cameramen walking, even running, to the blast to help those in need, as so many others ran away. I cant imagine doing that. What selfless people knowing that they would put themselves at risk. Thank you. Its interesting though to see the subtle aspects of the effort come together slowly but surely, reaffirming the essence of teamwork.
- The men and women running from the marathon to the hospital, without stopping, to donate blood
- The medical response team, in place for the runners, developing a mobile intake tent as a central location
- Effort on behalf of Israel to help develop hospital disaster teams
- FBI, not standing firm as the lead investigators, allowing other agencies to work with them
- Police asking innocent bystanders to review the footage and look for suspicious people at the airport
- Cooperation of those living/working within the locked down crime scene
- The media covering every development
These HEROS are what makes up our great country. These HEROS save lives. These HEROS are Americans.
Stand proud today, we will not live in fear because we are a proud nation. These are the events that will define our lives and our actions will be captured in a picture, video or even a memory for years to come, be proud of your actions.
Peace & Love
