I am sure that all of you remember the events of April 16, 2007 that occurred at Virginia Tech. It was a very tragic day at Blacksburg and will never be forgotten. If you are interested, you can read about today's Day of Remembrance at the VT website. Almost every one of us know someone associated with Tech, whether it is a relative, coworker or student.I am going to ask two things of you today. First, I would like for all of us to observe 32 seconds of silence, in memory of those who were killed. Next, I would ask that you respond with your thoughts on the tragedy.
In my opinion, the events were terrible and I hope they are never repeated on any school campus in America. Truly, today we are all Hokies! God Bless Virginia Tech and its students, faculty and staff.

When i first found out about this it was a little scary. Alot of people died that day and lost family members. It was just a horrible tragedy. Im lucky that i have no family members that didnt get hurt on that day.
I think that all college campuses should have more security and have a few guards with random metal detector checks. I think the virginia tech incident was very sad and dis- heartening
I think that the tragedy was heartbreaking, and sad. Even though i didn't know any of the people that died, I still have the sympothy for them and their family and friends.
I can't believe it's already been 3 years since the tragedy at VT. Today is a day of rememberance for the 32 lives that were lost on that terrible day. Today we are all Hokies, and we'll neVer forgeT.
My thoughts on the tragic events that happened was i thought it was horrifying. I was actually at home in Newport News when I heard about it I thought it was just so tragic and very wrong. I see how the guy was angry but killing is never the answer and he deserves to get what he got so I have my deepest condolences for the familys of those victims on this day.
The event that took place at that school, reflects the true evil that we can harbor in our hearts. For I do not know of any possible way that I could ever lift a weapon to specifically harm someone. The memory of those who were brutally murdered will forever remain in the hearts of those who remember that fateful day, and I pray to God that he lets every single one of them into his loving Kingdom. I pray for the families who lost them as well. RIP.
I think that this was a very horrible tragedy. I hope and pray it never happens again to any school campus around the world. That just goes to show you should watch how you treat others, because they could end up like the VT killer.
This tradgey was very bad in my family cause i have alot of my closest cousins go to VA tech. I will always remember that day and also i would think about all the people that were killed on that day. I also think that today all and everyone should be a Hokie. Go Hokies!
i think that it was one the most worst things that happed at a school that was very said and just schocking to see and thats how i feel about that .
I think that today is a sad day for many parents, and whoever else had a loss on this tragic day. It was all because of a young man that was picked on, and went well, crazy. I hope it would never happen anywhere else. I actually planned on going there if I went to college but, now I'm kinda scared to. I think that people should have enough respect to not pick on other people just because they're different, not saying I haven't ever done it but I have enough respect to not do it to that person's face. Because I know I wouldn't want somebody going crazy on me just because I picked on her/him.
I believe what happened on that day should of never happened. The student that killed those people have to of had a mental problem. It is sad that those students had to die when they had done nothing wrong to that student.
I thank what happened on April 16, 2007 was a really bad tragedy. Just seeing all the people’s faces on TV and seeing them cry. The guy that did this had to have so big problem going on in his life but that’s no resin to just blow up like that.
My thoughts on the tragedy that took place on April 16, 2007, is that is was a terrible event. I hope it never happenes again at any campus. My cousins boyfriend went there and luckly he did't go to school on that very day.
I think that the massacre of Viginia Tech was very sad and unfortunate. Altho this event did occur, no one that passed that day will be forgotten. In loving memory of Virginia Tech and the innocent people whos lives were taken you will never be forgotten.
I first found out when I got home from school that day. I was in complete shock. It scared me. I wondered who had died and who was the mass murderer. God bless the hokies.
My thoughts on the tragedy are bad. I mean that this couldn't have been avoided and that the gunman was completely insane. Today we should remember and never forget.
I think it was a terrible event. I hope that nothing like that ever happens again. I also think that colleges should have more security.
The event that occured at Virginia Tech was such a horrible event. That day was a gloomy day. Parents lost hope, children grew frightning dreams at night. Many of the kids who lost their life had huge dreams, but they were all lost and destroyed on that day.
Even though I didn't know a single person that got killed that day, It still sucked that so many innocent people died because of one miserable person. On that day I remember seeing a great number of people sad. The security on college campus has incxreased now so it has gotten better now I guess.
Virginia Tech gettin shot up,is really scary. Its really sad also. And to know its that close to us. I feel so bad for all the people that had to go through that.
I think that the tragedy was very sad. I didn't know any of the people, but I feel sorry for them. We will never forget what happened.
I thought the man who done it was crazy. Many young people lost their lifes that was just beginning for them. My heart goes out to all the famlies who lost a young person in this tragedy.
The tragedy that happened at VT was very heartbreaking. The 32 that were killed will be missed by all. I am very grateful though because i had a cousin that went there at the time luckily he was not in the danger zone. So i am very grateful.
What happened at VT is terrible and I know that today is a very hard day for the families of those we have lost. I know that if it was anyone I knew that was at VT I would be upset.I know at least three people out there and I don't know what I would do without them.
I think it was pretty tragic that all those people were murdered by a complete psycho. I don't really understand why the guy did it. I feel bad for the people who survived because they have to live with that memory for the rest of their lives.
May God be with them.
When I think of the Tech shootings, several emotions come to mind. I feel angry, upset, sad, and scared. I hope nothing like this ever happens again. No one can doubt that this event brought us all closer together, whether we are directly associated with Virginia Tech or not.

When I heard Virginia Tech had a shooting i was shocked. It was very sad to hear about the students who lost their lives. I just pray that God be with their families during this hard time. Even though it is a very tragic memory they will forever live.
