Tragedy Strikes at Heart of America http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5730
Kevin E. Dayhoff April 17, 2013
The cheers of joy and excitement quickly turned to screams
of terror on Monday at 2:50 in the afternoon when an act of senseless horror
shattered the 117th running of the Boston Marathon, arguable the world’s
oldest and most prestigious endurance foot race.
The marathon is traditionally held on Patriots Day in Boston
and the holiday had blossomed into a beautiful spring day. The Massachusetts
state holiday “commemorates the first battles of the American Revolution in
1775.”
The Boston Marathon brings-out approximately 500,000
spectators and visitors to the city for what can be described as Christmas and
New Year’s Eve all rolled into one.
The bombs shattered the celebrations of the runners,
families, and spectators- and once again, shook us to our core. The heinous act
served as an unwelcome reminder that no one is safe anywhere in a world where
senseless acts of violence are perpetrated upon the innocent to promote a
political or ideological agenda… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5730
