Since the Boston Marathon bombing and subsequent shootout and manhunt in Watertown for a bombing suspect, the Watertown Police Dept. has received many thanks.

They have been pouring in to the police station, in the form of cards from adults and children, hand-drawn photos and signs. There is even a table where flower arrangements and balloons have been placed. 

The messages say things like, "Thank you for risking your life for ours," "You are heroes," and "Thanks for all your help!! You saved everyone's life!"
