American Pride

Almost a year ago to this day the deadly bombs went off at the Boston Marathon in Boston, Massachusetts. These bombs killed three civilians and injured hundreds more at the finish line of the coveted Boston Marathon. Not only was the tragedy hard to fathom but the fear of people after the two alleged bombers were on the loose. But after a week of searching the two brothers that planned the plot were captured, with one being shot and the other one put into custody. But after a year to recover from the attack the city of Boston has come back stronger than ever and this year’s Boston Marathon will be the biggest and best one that the country has ever seen.

                The city of Boston was reeling for almost a week as the stresses of the loose terrorists were around the surrounding area. After the two terrorists were captured the entire city tried to go back to normal. But the one thing that brought everybody together was the three sports that banded everybody together even before the unfortunate event. It helped mend the entire city and help ease some of the pain. The Boston Red Sox and the Boston Bruins had their games right after the bombings happened and the turnout was phenomenal. The National Anthem was not only sung by one person on the ice or field but by the entire crowd of people. It really showed how much pride we have as being Americans and that we love this country more than anything on the face of the Earth.

                This event not only brought the city of Boston together but it united the entire country. We took pride in our country and it really shows that even though we go through a lot it never phases us and we come back even stronger than before. That is what’s great about the United States of America and that is why we are the best country in the entire world.
