Slater’s message: Put life in perspective, and appreciate every moment you’ve got. “It really puts things in perspective,” Slater said today at Gillette Stadium. “It really puts a value on life, and really lets you know there are bigger things than football. I just want to let those people out there know, the people that were affected by that event that were injured, or had somebody they knew that was injured or killed or are still battling for their lives or had to witness that traumatic event, that we’re praying for them. I don’t think there’s ever been a time where I’ve ever been more proud to be a part of this city, this region, with the way people have responded to that tragedy, and I’m just proud to be associated with the people of New England and the people of Boston.”
