Thank You World from the Virginia Tech Hokies

Like most people I was very shaken when the VA Tech shootings occurred not long ago. We Virginians listened to it unfold on our radio stations and local news stations as we heard the grim details roll on like a never ending nightmare. It was yet another senseless act committed by a soulless lunatic against our young.

Equally as moving was watching the news and learning about the love pouring out of every corner of the world to the students, lost and living, their families and the entire Hokie community.

VA Tech students wanted to say thanks to everyone around the world so they formed a giant human “VT THANKS YOU” and a satellite captured it on the photograph above. Very cool.

On a side note - When I added the post with photographs from the early 1900’s  to the site earlier today I had no idea the event at VA Tech was to occur. Strange coincidence…. That story is here: Mole and Thomas classic photographs now in our ‘Cool‘ category.

There’s a website you can visit for more information and photographs here: http://www.hokiesthanktheworld.org.

Go Hokies!
