I may not be from VT and i have no right to call my self a Hokie.Not all of us are from VT, but we do have rights to mourn and pray for the 32 lives that were taken away.

This tragedy shows how us humans can be so selfish. But with the people helping,praying,donating,posting videos on youtube and doing what ever they can to show that thet care. It shows how the world can work as one, and how we can help one another. not all of us are from Virginia Tech but Today,We’re All Hokies.

My Name is Carmen Raneses, I am 13 years old,I live in the Philippines. But today i am a Hokie.

Thank You.

Thank you for this sentiment – once a Hokie, always a Hokie -I’ve been out of Tech for thirty years and the pain this tragedy has caused is as raw as if I’d been there the day it happened. Here in Northern VA, you can’t buy a VA Tech apparel item or even find Burgundy and Orange ribbon today – hallelujah! God Bless VA Tech and thanks to everyone praying for these families.

I am a Hokie.

I met and married my wife while we were both there as students.

My older son graduated from Tech in 2000.

My younger son is a freshman at Tech, and is safe and sound.

In my family, we are truly all Hokies, and we feel a kinship to all other Hokies, but it is reassuring to know that there are so many other people joining us in our mourning and recovery.

Thank you all.
