Statement from Governor Hassan on Anniversary of Boston Marathon Bombings

Statement

Governor Maggie Hassan today released the following statement on the two-year anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombings:

"Two years after the horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon, we continue to remember those who lost their lives and send our thoughts and prayers to their families and loved ones, and we remain inspired by the determination of those who were injured. That senseless act of terror and cowardice and the aftermath deeply affected all of us in New England, and we will never forget those who were lost and injured.

"But it was also a time that the people of New England demonstrated our collective resilience, standing together to overcome this tragedy. And today, we stand stronger than ever in our support for the victims and in our gratitude for, and pride in, the professionalism, skill, and dedication of the law enforcement community.

"In honor of those who died, the hundreds who were injured, and all of the first responders, doctors, and nurses who came to their aid, I encourage all Granite Staters to join the people of the City of Boston, those across the country, and me in a Moment of Silence this afternoon at 2:49 p.m."
