Today is One Boston Day, a day for the city to remember the lives lost in the 2013 Boston Marathon bombings and encourage acts of kindness in the community.

Every April 15, the city holds memorial ceremonies to honor the victims and hosts volunteer events and other service opportunities.

Eight-year-old Martin Richard, 23-year-old Lu Lingzi and 29-year-old Krystle Campbell were killed when two bombs exploded within seconds of each other near the marathon finish line. MIT police officer Sean Collier was shot and killed by the bombers three days later, and Boston Police officer Dennis Simmonds died in 2014 from injuries suffered during a confrontation with the bombers after a manhunt.
