Chelmsford's Thoughts One Week Later

Governor Patrick is asking communities throughout Massachusetts to join in a moment of silence at 2:50 p.m. today, and one week we want to look back, and look ahead through the eyes of our town.

Chelmsford residents stood in shock shortly after they learned what happened, they gathered to mourn and stand firm against the terror, and they looked back after the suspect was captured.

And, we watched as one of our own became a symbol, a hero and saw the world come to his aid.

Chelmsford Patch will continue to report on any further stories coming out of the Boston Marathon tragedy related to Chelmsford as they arise. But today, we want to ask you your thoughts.
