Across the Nation this week I feel an emotion similar to the unity I recall from shortly after the Terrorist attacks of Sep 11.
I'm sure that every parent and every college student knows that this random act of senseless violence could have happened anywhere.
As I thought about the instructors and students murdered in their classrooms, some of whom were studying German, I was reminded of President Kennedy's words in Berlin nearly 44 years ago. As we were all Berliners then we are all Hokies today. Although I did not lose a son or daughter on Tuesday and I've never been to Blacksburg, I feel the loss of 33 family members.
