As impossible to forget as the 2013 Boston Marathon are these commemorative ornaments made for the continued support of Boston families and the One Fund Boston. Although there is no store front to purchase these original ornaments, you'll find this ornament to be the official representation of the Boston Marathon for your tree this year. As with many traditions, adding a new ornament that best represents the year reminds us of the tragedy and the caring, giving and unselfish response that shocked Boston families and runners this year. Forever may we stand Boston Strong.
