Mayor Martin J. Walsh, Police Commissioner William G. Gross and others honor U.S. Army Specialist Raymond Wise and kick off the new school year at the Shelburne Community Center in Roxbury.
A
A
B
Thank
everybody,
I
hope
we
all
had
fun
today.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
be
clear:
I'm
just
representing
an
organization
representing
a
lot
of
people.
They
care
about
you
guys
and
care
about
your
future,
and
we
we
want
the
best
for
you,
as
I
told
most
you
guys
earlier
we're
here
to
honor
the
memory
of
Raymond
Weis
Army
Specialist
Raymond
wise,
who
was
killed
in
training
in
fourplus
in
2017,
the
straight
life.
B
So
we
get
the
great
life
that
we
get
to
live
the
great
communities
we
get
to
live
in,
it's
because
of
sacrifices
made
by
men
like
Raymond,
and
it's
really
important
for
us
to
come
back
in
the
community
and
highlight
these
guys
and
honor
them
and
try
to
teach
you
guys
a
little
bit
of
bottom,
because
many
of
you
were
just
little
guys
and
girls
when
I,
when
he
passed
I'd
like
to
welcome
Kato,
wise
and
his
wife,
kids
with
Kato.
It
right
here.
B
Kyoto's
Rams
brother-
and
it's
always
special
to
happen
here.
For
those
that
don't
know
we
were
here
and
for
the
Christmas,
and
we
did
little
think
for
the
Christmas.
Most
importantly,
I
know
the
mayor
and
the
police,
commissioner
have
always
been
really
big
on
not
just
our
organization
but
those
first
responders
and
city
employees.
They
want
us
back
in
the
in
the
neighborhoods
and
want
us
doing
good
things.
B
You
guys
make
it
real
easy,
because
when
you
come
here,
the
Shelburne
Senate's
doing
good
things
and
there's
a
lot
going
on
here
and
we're
proud
to
help
out
next
person.
I
want
to
bring
up
is
Bernie
Winne
who's
from
the
Boston
firefighters,
credit
union,
and
if
you
can't
get
to
get
my
Ronald
Polaski
to
give
us
a
nice
donation,
go
ahead.
C
Thanks
Mike
just
real
quickly
on
behalf
of
Boston
firefighters,
credit
union,
our
board
of
directors
and
all
of
our
members.
We're
really
happy
to
be
here
and
have
an
opportunity
to
help
out
a
little
bit,
we're
honored
to
be
involved
with
mass
following
heroes
and
what
they're
trying
to
do
today
and
we
really
just
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
community.
We
work
with
police
and
firefighters
throughout
the
city
of
Boston.
C
We
try
to
do
some
good
things
for
them
and
obviously
they
try
to
do
some
good
things
for
all
of
you
and
that's
why
we're
all
here
today.
So
I
want
to
wish
you
good
luck
and
great
success
in
the
upcoming
school
year.
Today's
a
great
way
to
kick
it
off
and
I'm
sure
you're
all
going
to
do
really
well,
and
with
that,
it
gives
me
an
opportunity
to
introduce
the
mayor
of
the
city
of
Boston,
Mia,
Mountain,
Walsh
and
I
also
want
to
take
a
minute.
C
We
congratulate
the
mayor
on
his
son
new
appointment
as
commissioner
of
the
police
department,

department,
and
that's
just
continuing
so
mr.

Congratulations

D
D
Heroes
in
their
organization
is
to
make
sure
that
anybody
who
lost
their
life
in
Iran
in
Afghanistan
and
Iraq
to
me
Iraq
and
Afghanistan
that
they're
not
forgotten,
and
the
omission
has
even
gone
further
than
that
to
make
sure
that
the
families
of
the
loved
ones
who
lost,
who
lost
somebody
that
they
take
care
of
and
their
mission
now
is
gone
even
further
to
make
sure
they
get
back
to
the
community.
So
I
want
to
thank
Michael
Brown,
don't
thank
you
for
being
here
today
and
for
everyone
on
the
board
at
masa
fallen
heroes.
D
D
D
Commissioner
Joe
Finn,
who
also
grew
up
not
too
far
from
here
right
here,
Joe
Finn
I,
want
to
thank
the
Shelbourne
for
letting
us
in
today
miss
Harris
to
let
this
in
does
anyone
know
who
Raymond
wisest
all
right.
Raymond
wise
is
a
shell
blowing
kid.
He
used
to
play
basketball
here
and
dance
he
before
him.
Talent
shows
he
worked
as
a
junior
counselor
who's,
your
age,
a
lot
of
your
age.
He
went
on
to
serve
his
country
and
we
got
a
we'll
always
remember
him.
D
D
Sometimes
it's
used
to
something
basic
that
helps
so
many
people,
that's
that's
who
Raymond
was
and
that's
what
we're
here
today
to
remember
that
and
mash
fallen
heroes
is
helping
us
remember
that
and
that's
what
they
want
to
do,
make
sure
we
don't
forget
his
legacy.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
every
young
person
in
the
city
of
Boston
has
everything
that
they
need
to
be
successful
as
I
walked.
Around
I
talked
to
a
lot
of
people
in
the
room.
There's
some
high
school
students
here
right
or
the
high
school
students.
D
Was
talking
to
a
bunch
of
young
kids
today
that
were
soccer
players
and
I
asked
them
what
they
wanted
to
do
when
they
got
older
and
a
ton
of
kids
raised
in
here,
and
they
want
to
play
professional
soccer?
One
guy
said
one
guy
said
he
wanted
to
be
a
shock.
Chaser
I,
don't
know
what
that
is,
but
I
don't
want
to
chase
a
shock.
I
just
want
to
look
at
them
and
turn
off
during
the
channel.
Somebody
else
said
they
want
to
be
a
nuclear
physicist.
D
Somebody
else
do
they
want
to
be
a
doctor
and
whatever,
whatever
they
dream,
was
I
taught
them
about
the
importance
of
making
sure
that
they
focus
on
what
they
want
to
do.
It's
like
playing
sports.
You
don't
get
good
and
you
don't
stay
good.
If
you
don't
practice,
if
you
don't
see
a
coach,
if
you
don't
listen
to
your
teammates
and
your
parents
and
the
same
thing
for
education
and
the
same
thing
for
reaching
the
goals
and
dreams
that
you
want
to
reach
when
I
was
a
teenager,
I
want
to
be
mayor
of
Boston.
D
I
want
to
be
in
politics.
First
then,
I
want
to
be
me:
ecause
I
figure,
that's
a
pretty
good
job
and
my
road
from
that
point
to
today
wasn't
a
straight
line.
It
was
crooked
and
the
times
that
I
listened
to
my
teachers
and
the
time
that
I
listened
to
the
clergy
and
the
time
that
I
listened
to
my
parents
and
the
time
that
I
listened
to
some
people
that
were
trying
to
give
me
advice.
I
always
made
the
right
decisions
and
there's
times
where
I
didn't
make
the
right
decision.
D
When
I
didn't
listen,
Messiah,
they
don't
know
they're
talking
about
and
I
made
a
wrong
decision.
I
had
to
go
back
eventually
and
say:
okay,
I'm
sorry,
I
made
the
wrong
decision.
So
I'm,
not
here
not
here
today,
to
preach
to
everybody,
we're
here
today
for
two
things:
we
want
you
to
follow
your
dreams
and
we
want
you
to
be
safe
and
stay
active
in
your
neighborhood,
because
that's
what's
important
and
I
want
you
to
remember
as
you're
running
around
and
you're
playing
sports
or
in
school.
D
It
was
a
young
man
that
that
followed
that
proceeded
in
your
footsteps.
That
did
it
before
you
did.
As
I
mentioned,
he
played
whooping
here
he
danced
in
here.
He
was
a
counselor
in
here.
He
fought
for
this
country
and
gave
his
life
and
he's
no
different
than
anybody
in
this
room
today
and
he
followed
his
dream.
So
I
want
to
thank
you.
I
want
to
thank
math,
fallen
heroes.
I
want
to
thank
the
Fire
Department
police
department,
shell
blown
to
me
Santa,
and
everyone
especially
only
thing
you
guys,
would
be
an
ene.
D
So
I
get
to
bring
up
the
commissioner.
All
right.
I
met
the
Commissioner
first
time,
I
met
him.
I
was
21
years
old,
I'm,
just
gonna
say
that
the
next
time
I
met
him.
I
was
28
years
old
and
my
life
was
completely
different
from
21
to
28
and
I
met
him
when
I
became
a
state
representative
and
at
the
time
he
was
a
sergeant
at
C
11
and
he
was
a
community
service
guy
along
with
Dennis
Rory
and
I
saw
the
way
he
operated
the
way
he
did
things.
D
This
guy
behind
me
was
pulling
in
a
different
state
but
moved
to
Boston
moved
two
doors
to
the
young
guy
and
at
the
age
of
18
I
think
he
became
a
Boston
police
cadet.
Then
he
got
on
to
the
police
department.
He
was
a
police
officer
and
he's
risen
through
the
ranks
of
the
police
department
to
be
the
Commissioner
of
the
police
department.
Again,
a
man
who
followed
his
dreams,
a
man
who
worked
on
and
a
man
who
I'm
proud
to
call
my
friend
Commissioner
gross.
E
Good
afternoon
everybody,
oh,
my
first
shoutout
has
to
go
to
one
of
my
heroes:
miss
Harris.
How
are
you
I
am
not
kidding
when
I
was
a
Roxbury
Raider
and
we
played
football.
We
used
to
track
mud
in
here,
I
piece
of
smack
me
in
the
head
every
week,
but
that's
the
truth.
She's
still
up
I'm
still
scared
of
her
till
no
I'm
very
honored
to
be
here.
E
I
was
raised
by
those
who
served
our
country
well
as
Vietnam
veterans
of
foreign
war
and
specialist
wise
understand
and
appreciate
his
sacrifice
so
that
you
could
all
be
on
free
soil
and
you
could
listen
whatever
type
of
music
you
want
watch
over
TV
shows
you
want
and
speak
freely.
Does
anybody
tell
you
how
to
dress
how
to
wear
your
hair?
E
Some
of
you,
but
when
you're
adults
is
that
going
to
happen?
Yeah,
that's
parents!
You
got
to
listen
to
them
too,
but
folks,
like
God
specialist
wives,
he
really
fought
for
our
country
so
that
we
can
be
free
so
that
you
can
advance
so
that
you
can
be
the
next
Commissioner.
The
next
mayor,
the
next
person
like
Miss
Harris,
the
next
person,
like
my
sister
behind
her
miss
Lisa
Holmes,
who
was
a
superintendent
on
the
Boston
Police
Department.
E
We
all
grew
up
the
same
way.
The
people
you
see
in
this
room,
love
you
and
they
want
you
to
advance.
We
don't
want
you
to
be
the
victims
of
senseless
crime.
We
don't
want
you
to
go
down
the
road
where
somebody's
trying
to
force
you
to
be
in
the
gangs
or
do
things
like
sell
drugs.
We
believe
in
you
and
we
believe
in
your
mind,
and
we
believe
that
you
are
the
future.
That's
why
we're
here
for
you
today
look
about
the
room.
You
have
the
mirror,
the
mirror.
E
Let
me
tell
you
what
talking
about
a
young
man
from
the
community
that
made
it
all
the
way
that
followed
his
dreams
and
aspirations.
He
did
that
Commissioner
Finn
the
fire
department.
He
did
that
we
were
all
kids,
we
didn't
have
much,
but
we
have
one
thing:
people
that
cared
for
us
just
like
you
have
in
this
room
and
I
know
miss
Lisa
Holmes
back
there.
E
He
really
is
one
of
the
nicest
persons
I've
been
on
the
job
and
one
of
the
toughest
he's
tough
in
this
regards
he'll
do
anything
possible
to
make
sure
that
you
succeed.
He'll
do
anything
possible
to
make
sure
that
once
we
have
police
officers
on
the
job
that
they're
respected
and
that
there
are
right,
strong
and
body
and
in
mine,
sir
Ernie,
how
about
this?
What
about
people
that
give
back
to
the
community
they
don't
have
to,
but
the
firefighters
credit
union,
your
leadership,
sir?
We
thank
you
again.
E
My
message
here
is
about
look
around
the
room
and
look
who's
here,
for
you,
you're
gonna
be
doing
that
one
day,
you're
the
Future
Leaders.
So
please
take
advantage
of,
what's
being
done
for
you
and
another
quest,
another
ask
that
I
have
of
you
before
I
step
down.
Is
this
talk
to
your
peers?
All
of
you
in
this
room
are
special
you're
already
leaders.
E
We
need
you
to
go
out
into
the
community
and
motivate
people
your
age,
all
right,
motivate
them
to
do
the
right
thing
and
if
they
make
mistakes,
help
them
out,
because
everybody
in
this
room
has
made
mistakes,
but
you're
gonna
be
in
the
position
where
you
help
everybody
out
all
right.
That's
just
the
responsibilities
of
a
leader
so
before
I
pass
the
mic
so
to
speak.
If
you
could,
please
just
give
yourselves
a
hand
and
acknowledge
your
future
leaders.
Thank
you.
F
F
F
One
who
we
were
very
proud
of
my
co-worker
here,
Lisa
Holmes,
grew
up
here,
Isis
Micra,
to
come
on
yep
Isis,
my
career
too.
That's
why
I
did
straight.
You
know
because
they
came
from
the
old
school.
You
know,
and
you
know,
like
yeah,
you
know
like
I.
Do
you
yeah?
Well,
that's
the
same
thing,
but
today
we
also
wanted
to
add
to
this
very
very
exciting
day.
We
want
to
name
our
scholarship
winners
for
the
1718
school
year
and
some
of
them
have
already
gone
on
to
school.
F
Some
here
and
some
I
think
there's
a
parent
here
also
that
represent
and
how
our
scholarship
really
runs.
It's
really
a
$5,000
scholarship,
but
we
don't
give
you
$5,000
at
one
time.
What
we
do
is
every
semester.
We
give
you
a
check
after
you
send
us
your
official
transcript
that
shows
you're
still
in
school
and
you're
still
at
least
carrying
the
2.0.
F
F
That's
a
post
right
and
my
right,
Kojak
Kojak,
went
to
UMass
Boston
and
one
of
the
parents
are
here
today
a
very,
very
proud
parent
of
Julius
Santos,
who
graduated
from
Westfield
State
last
year
on
the
Dean's
List,
who
is
now
who
is
now
an
undergraduate
student
at
Suffolk
University.
This
is
her
mother,
Carmen,
Santo.
F
So
that's
my
part
of
the
program
and
Lisa.
Let
me
tell
you
about
a
little
bit
about
Lisa
and
I.
Want
you
all
seriously?
It's
good
to
have
people
say
good
things
about
you:
okay,
Lisa,
just
retired
from
the
Boston
Police
Department.
She
grew
up
here
at
the
Shelburne
Center
and
she
was
just
like
you
all.
F
You
know
I
chase
you
up
and
down
the
hallways
and
all
that
okay,
but
like
the
Mayor
was
saying
fulfill
your
dreams
fulfill
your
dreams,
and
this
is
a
good,
great
role
model
and
somebody
who
came
the
same
way
you
all
came
through
the
same
hallways
up
and
down
the
banisters,
get
off
the
banister
same
thing.
These
are
homes,
great
great
role
model.
Thank
you.
B
Kids,
oh
I'm,
just
gonna
leave
you
with
this
this
year.
We
want
it
every
ball,
all
the
adults
in
this
room
and
all
the
kids
we
all
want.
You
guys
have
a
great
school
year.
Remember
and
it's
inevitable.
We
all
have
bad
days
frustrating
days.
Remember
what
it
looks
like
in
this
room.
Remember
how
