Three years ago today, the Hokie community lost the above 32 people when a gunman took to Ambler Johnson Residence Hall and Norris Hall at Virginia Tech.
These were people with wonderful potential. Several graduated first in their high school class. Ryan Clark was a triple-major with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Many were loved professors. Several were honors students and all had something to offer the world before their lives were cut far too short.
At least one died a hero. Liviu Librescu was 76 years old and survived the Holocaust. He barricaded the door to the classroom with his body to give his students time to escape through the windows. He gave his life so that others could live.
"...I ask each of you to take the time to be a Hokie this week. Appreciate life a little more, take in every moment around you, count your blessings, tell the people around you that you love them, slow down, remember what's truly important in life. And live for those 32 that do not have that chance anymore. " -An unknown VT student.
