Heroes
Wind sweeps through the mountains,
Wiping away the innocence,
Tears stream like rivers,
Oh what senseless violence!
A nations heart is broken,
Youthful lives hardly begun,
So many yet to have spread their wings,
So early to have stopped their run.
An act of utter cowardice,
A senseless attempt to hurt,
So many lives this has affected,
Optimism and hope left inert.
Today we are all Hokies,
No matter where we are from,
Though on the field we may be enemies,
Today we hold Virginia as our Home.

Hey [Memorial] VT Hokies United, I just adopted petunia! But it needs a play date... will you be my play date?
Dear Angel ever at my side, how lovely you must be--- To leave your home in heaven, to guard a child like me. When I'm far away from home, or maybe hard at play-- I know you will protect me, from harm along the way. Your beautiful and shining face, I see not, though you're near. The sweetness of your lovely voice, I cannot really hear. When I pray, you're praying too, Your prayer is just for me. But ,when I sleep you never do, You're watching over me.
Wishing you and yours a wonderful blessed week:) Much love and blessings always:) The New Outlaws' Angels
I am a student from NIU, and had the chance to be with your school on your anniversary. To be able to be your students was an amazing experience and I am so thankful I got opportunity. The students at Virginia Tech were so welcoming and friendly. You have such an amazing school. All I can really say is thank you for everything you have done and that words alone can not begin to explain the amount of admiration our school has for you.Your students went above and beyond what was expected and we truly appreciate everything. NIU and Virginia Tech will forever be connected in a way that no other schools could fully begin to understand.
"From the NIU huskies to our brother and sister Hokies, our thoughts and prayers are with you. We love you all. You are our family! Huskies and Hokies UNITED!"
