Boston marked the anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing, which killed three people and injured 264, on Tuesday with a memorial service featuring remarks by survivors of the attack.
About 2,500 invited guests attended the memorial at Boston's Hynes Convention Center, just blocks from the race's finish line, where a pair of homemade pressure-cooker bombs detonated a year ago, ripping through the crowd of thousands of spectators.
"We will always remember our guardian angels," said one of the survivors.
Adrianne Haslet and her husband, Air Force Captain Adam Davis, were seriously injured in the Marathon bombings. Concluding her remarks, Haslet said she's learned that "something in your life, in anyone's life, can go horrifically, terribly wrong in a matter of seconds. Yet it is up to us to make every single second count after, because believe me, they do."
