    I have been reading this thread since just about the first post. I have set back quietly and not committed because we all have a freedom of speech. However, I have decided that I must say something.

    There is nothing about the horrific incident that was political. None of us know how we would have responded if we were any of the people involved. All we do know is that a very troubled young man took it upon himself to take the lives of 32 others. These 32 people had no say so and there lives were just beginning. What we need to do is pull together as the great country we are and wrap our arms and prayers around the family and friends that are left behind to grieve.

    So I am asking that we as citizens of the United States of America (and all the freedom that this entitles us to) stop bashing and scrutinizing everything and everybody and be family to each other. You know the golden rule treat others as you would have them treat you.

        That is probably the best post I've seen on this site.

          VT Ribbon

          I've attached a jpeg of a ribbon I received from a former classmate. I don't know who created it or where it came from. The forwarding stream of the email was quite long. I don't think I'm breaking any laws or forum rules by posting it.

          I have another ribbon jpeg of 2 offset ribbons that tile nicely for a desktop background. If anyone is interested, I'll post that as well.

          Also, I've heard from a few different sources including the radio and local tv that tomorrow, Friday April 20th is "Maroon and Orange Day". Show your support for those involved by wearing the school colors. That's Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange for you my fellow Hokies out there.
