This is an excerpt of something I wrote last year after the candlelight vigil...
It was a very moving experience and I just feel as proud as ever to be a Hokie. After the Corps of Cadets played taps, several people spoke and then there was a moment of silence. After that, there were random outbursts of the Lord's Prayer that trickled through the crowd and got louder as it spread though. Then, the same thing happened with Amazing Grace and the national anthem. After those very somber, unified prayers and songs, the whole crowd almost simultaneously erupted in our school cheers and then almost as quickly fell silent again, many with tearful faces. The strength and resilience of the Hokie Nation was very clear tonight.
