How does one even begin to describe the Tribute by Fenway Park to the Boston Marathon 2013 terrorist attack? Boston Strong! You bet! It was chilling, beautiful, emotional, filled with unity, and love! It was an amazing tribute honoring the victims, the fallen, and the hero’s of the Boston Marathon tragedy, and one that will never be forgotten by those who were there to witness this day in history.
Fenway Park you nailed it! From the slide show on the Jumbo Tron of the fallen, and the hurt, during the marathon, to being introduced to the victims who were able to make it to Fenway Park, to the doctors and nurses who helped to save their lives, or at least try to, to the Marathon volunteers from the Boston Athletics Association, to the first responders, and the Boston Color Guard, Boston Police Commissioner, Ed David, Mayor Menino, Governor Deval Patrick ~ and even to witness a Major League Baseball Player, Big Papi, say what we are all feeling! “This is OUR F**king City! And Nobody is Going to Dictate OUR Freedom! Stay Strong!" Now that is something you will never see again! David, we all forgive you! It was all so overwhelming! And then to end the day with Neil Diamond, and of course, me marrying my 34th couple at Fenway Park! It was all just so special, and I was honored to be a part of it!!! Boston Strong!
