"Most folks will never experience the euphoria of crossing a finish line, but we can all share in the grief and anger that yesterday’s tragic terror bombing of the Boston Marathon produced. Our hearts and prayers are with Boston and our friends, families and visitors who came to celebrate Patriots’ Day and tremendous human achievement, but who now leave wounded inside and out, or worse. As a nation, we cannot allow our great ability to heal to also become a liability. Our resiliency must not turn into complacency, because America’s enemies will neither forgive, forget or stop. The Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States fully supports our nation’s law enforcement officials who will bring those responsible for this senseless and cowardly act to justice."
