talking
neighborhoods
as
well
people
from
different
neighborhoods
in
the
city
of
Boston.
You
grew
up
here.
You
can
tell
an
incredible
story
of
what
you've
done
here.
Many
people
immigrated
here
to
this
country.
Many
of
you
served
our
country
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
You
you've
lit,

your
whole
lives.
D
You've
carried
on
the
city
of
Boston
traditions
and
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
As
well,
you've
helped
pass
Boston's
values
on
to
the
next
generation
and
that
what
I
mean
by
values
and
talking
about
hard
work,
integrity
and
love
for
the
city
of
Boston,
and
that's
something
that
that
that
is
incredible
here.
D
The
love
and
commitment
that
you
share
is
also
an
example
that
we
need
today
and
in
this
country
and
I
want
to

Thank

that.
Many
people
in
this
room
have
witnessed
a
lot.
You've
witnessed.
Our
city.
You've
witnessed
the
changes
that
changes
in
our
city,
and
you
continue
to

a
city
again
in
transformation,
we're
going
to
another
phase
of
change
in
our
city,
where
we
have
incredible
growth.
Much
of
the
growth
that
we're
seeing
in
the
city
of
Boston
is
we
nearly
700,000
people
living
