Hope 4 the Hokies [Photography Contest Flower Photos]
Uploaded: April 20, 2007 04:38:37
A Day of Mourning today for the 32 Va. Tech lives that were taken on April the 16th. Today is a day of Orange and Maroon and at 12:00 a moment of silence. My prayers go out to the families, friends and all those affected by this horrible thing that has happened. For someone that grew up just minutes from where this took place and now live a little further down the road it touches me and so many others to see the out pour of support and well wishes.
