Boston natives Mark and Donnie Wahhlerg joined several of of Tinseltown’s finest — including Hugh Jackman, Ellen DeGeneres and Peter Dinklage — to remember the victims, honor the strength the city displayed in the face of tragedy and pay tribute to the #BostonStrong attitude that has taken over the entire country since the tragedy.
