[ applause ] in the words of dick hoyt who pushed his disabled son rick in 31 boston marathons, we can't let something like this stop us. this doesn't stop us. and that's what you've taught us, boston. that's what you've reminded us, to push on. to persevere, to not grow wary, to not get faint even when it hurts, even when our heart aches, we summon the strength that maybe we didn't even know we had. and we carry on. we finish the race.
