FirstNet Makes America More Secure in an Insecure World (Guest Blog)

A 2023 Boston Marathon runner visits the Boston Marathon Bombing Memorial at 671 Boylston Street, the location of the first attack of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, on April 14, 2023 on Boylston Street, in Boston, MA.

It’s been a decade since the city of Boston and surrounding communities were forever changed. We continue to mourn the loss of Lu Lingzi, Krystle Campbell, and Martin Richard, who died on April 15, 2013, at the scene of the Boston Marathon; care for those still reeling from the day’s emotional and physical scars; and honor the legacies of fallen MIT officer Sean Collier and Boston Police Sgt. Dennis Simmons, whose lives were claimed during a multi-day pursuit of the bombers. And this week, during National Public Works Week, the public safety community looks back on its response during this tragedy, for which we worked hand in hand with our nation's public works officials.
