Boston to Terror: We Will Not Back Down

   Early in the week, a horrific tragedy befell the city of Boston following what should have been a day for family and recreation. Instead, it turned into a day of carnage and Infamy, It was a day that many will never forget, as the Boston Marathon finish line was bombed that inflicted several injuries as well as amputees and three dead.

   Yet, much like 9/11, America and Boston became united as one. They were no longer a group of people that came from different races, religions or politics but Americans. In that for all the loss, there is a sense of human defiance in the face or fear and aggression that's ingrained in the people of Boston.

    It's a sense that brings pride to the city and is uniquely American. After all, it was the  one of the places where the American Revolution was born. The pride and a sense of community for a common cause is crystallized in this clip below



It's where Rene Rancourt who sings the National Anthem for the Boston sports teams found difficulty in singing the National Anthem. Thankfully, 19,000 people at TD BankNorth Garden became a chorus that brought chills and emotions of Patriotism that made everyone feel great to be an American.
