Boston commemorated the ninth anniversary of the marathon bombings today. The city honors the victims and survivors of the attack each year on One Boston Day. The tradition highlights public service, along with virtues like generosity and resilience.
Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when two bombs exploded near the finish line on April 15, 2013.
"Commemorating One Boston Day is a reminder to each one of us to never take a day for granted," Mayor Michelle Wu said earlier this week,"and to find some time to perform an act of kindness — however big or small — in your community." Mayor Michelle Wu and Gov. Charlie Baker carry a wreath to place it at the Marathon Bombing Memorial at 755 Boylston St., the site of the second bomb explosion, to honor those who died there.
