April 15th, 2013 was the first major terrorist attack in the U.S. since 9/11. We’ve had a few shootings where more people died, but this was a planned and strategic military-precision attack. Those cowards waited to detonate their bombs, deliberately trying to target regular people. They waited for the winners to cross the finish line, they waited until everyone felt safe and happy, and then they took it all away. And once again, we found a way to prevail. There are so many stories of strangers helping strangers. We again found another way to unite in tragedy, and that’s why the terrorists will never win. We choose to remember the heroes rather than the villains. We refuse to let 4/15 become another figure of speech like 9/11. We won’t forget what happened, we can’t forget what happened, and we will honor the fallen by racing again.
