Earlier today I walked through a Boston shocked but not overthrown by explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon; the deaths; the maimings.
What struck me as much as the efficient energy of the security folks was the "keep calm and carry on" work of train conductors, bus drivers, traffic cops and others who kept the city's circulatory system flowing and helped reduce panic.
Heroes come in all sorts of uniforms, and are heroic in the everyday pursuit of their duties, not just when they rush into the flames.
