I think to everyone it means something just a bit different but I think Big Papi (David Ortiz for those of you who don't know who he is) put it best during the open ceremonies of Saturday's Red Sox game:
"This jersey, that we wear today, it doesn't say 'Red Sox.' It says 'Boston,' We want to thank you Mayor Menino, Governor Patrick, the whole police department, for the great job that they did this past week. This is our fucking city. And nobody's going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong!"
Over the next few days, people will gather all over our state, from Wilmington to Medford and Dorchester and across the world in China; to say goodbye to the loved ones they lost in this horrible event. But, they will not be alone. Strangers will gather at churches and parks to hold their own vigils and ceremonies to honor these young lives and to make a silent promise that nothing and no one can hurt our city. We will come together and we will persevere - and we will never forget.
