The Boat that one of the bombers was hiding in was that of my neighbors. I will never forget looking out that window seeing those flashing lights and herring the opening of fire for over two minutes straight.

We all wear the same uniform no matter what town, city, state or University. It is that bond that binds us all. That Thin Blue Line we all tow together.
It is for that reason I stood proudly that day in Cambridge at MIT with all of our fellow brothers and sisters in blue to honor you at your memorial. We in the Boston area will never forget April 15th or 18th. We will continue to honor those days for years to come.
On behalf of my family, the Brandeis University Police Department and myself, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always. Rest in Peace Brother. Thank you for your sacrifice.

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of your brutal murder at the hands of two maniacs. One is dead and that is no loss to society. The other has been convicted of the bombing which started the entire affair.
Monday is the Marathon.
Officer Collier, I have stated before, I never had the pleasure of meeting you but I'm well acquainted with the MIT Police and many officers who work there. I have the highest respect for that agency and when one of you is gone, it hurts us all.
