>> real heroes is that they don't like being called heroes, and that's certainly true of the heroes of the watertown police department who stopped the boston marathon bombing suspects in their tracks, and our conversation today, i called them heroes several times, each time each one of them shrugged it off.
>> after 33 years of doing this, here is this moment. do you in that moment ever think i have a duty to my family to survive this, i have to limit my personal risk because we're going to have enough reinforcements come here to eventually get these guys.
>> you can't think like that. my wife and children is not going to want to hear that, my daughter is not going to want to hear that, but you cannot think like that. i mean, this is our job. police officers get paid for what they may have to do, not what they do every day, and that was our job that night. we had to do it. i mean, if not us, who's going to stop them? i mean, a civilian stop them or they go out and kill more civilians, we can't let them do that. we had to do what we did.
>> what's the effect of this on the watertown police department ?
>> i think it has brought great pride to all the officers in the department, and i think it has brought everybody closer, you know. i see that there's more of a closeness within the department than there was before because people realizing that geez, you know, i might not be talking to joe or tim or john or migel or jeff, he might not have been here today if things had gone differently. and i just think there's a closeness that wasn't -- there's always been a closeness, but it brought us even closer . people realize their co-workers, they could have been burying them.
>> that we could do that ten more times and you'd have to put an x through one of us or more of us and say funeral time for that person, we're very lucky.
>> it's an amazing combination of decisions that you guys made that were all right, that saved all the law enforcement lives that were on that scene that night. that seems like more than luck to me.
>> had a good crew that night.
>> i know what it was, i know what it was.
>> what was it?
>> we had a lot of help from above, no doubt. no doubt.
>> well, it's inconceivable that the job could have been done better or could have been done more heroically, i am going to call you heroes whether you like it or not.
>> thank you.
>> thank you very much for this, really appreciate it.
>> thank you.
>> if you're lucky, you are being served and protected in your local police department tonight by officers like tim menton, miguel colon, jeff pugliese. that's the last word from a lucky place called watertown . chris
