Any day, anyone of us may be called to be a first responder to a tragic event. Our complacency shattered, the first few seconds cause stunned disbelief. Yesterday, our nation witnessed the extreme contrast from violent disregard of innocent human life to strangers reacting immediately to care for the injured without regard to personal safety. In the moments from celebration to chaos, strangers became united as family. Instant reaction saved lives as makeshift tourniquets were applied. No doubt the death toll would be so much higher without the quick action of everyone present. What a blessing to have so many well staffed hospitals close by.
After completing 26 miles in the Marathon, many runners ran straight to hospitals to donate blood.
The world is watching as we stand strong, united in compassion, competence and courage in the pursuit life, liberty and justice for all.
