Today marks the one year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, in which three people were killed and over 200 injured, many losing limbs and suffering other severe injuries. Events commemorating the bombing will occur during the day, including a moment of silence led by President Obama from the White House.
In the year that's passed, the city has rebounded (everyone knows what "Boston Strong" stands for), the survivors have shown tremendous courage in their recovery, the city's beloved Red Sox won the World Series, and the 118th Boston Marathon will be run on April 21. Nearly a million spectators -- double from last year -- and some 36,000 runners are expected. We hope they have, as they say in Boston, "a wicked good time."
