How long before he sanctions some mass shootings on specific targets and then pardons them? #VTWeRemember. Michael I miss you.
Thank you AOC. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. I hope soon we can live in a world without fear or death. #VTWeRemember.
From the bottom of my heart I wanna say thank you bro. What this regime is doing is only going to get worse and people will die as a result. And you know what they’ll say, “thoughts and prayers” like they did for my brother #VTWeRemember.
They are the types who would say to me like say after a shooting “thoughts and prayers”. I lost my brother 18 years ago today, and I will forgive nor forget. #VTWeRemember. My brother Michael
I just want everyone to remember that this could’ve been prevented if we had more courage and less corruption. #VTWeRemember. I miss you Michael.
Thank you for all you do. As I remember the loss I suffered this day, I hope the world can move forward someday to fix it. Thank you. #VTWeRemember. My brother Michael.
Thank you David. Especially today of all days. Thank you. #VTWeRemember. Michael.

Love everyone: your friends, your enemies, complete strangers. It’s hard in some ways - in others, so much easier.
My faith is in humanity, however it’s tested.
We will prevail. #VTWeRemember
18 years after this tragedy, we should take a moment to read about who the 32 Hokies we lost were, and think about where they would be today : www.weremember.vt.edu/biographies.... #vtweremember
18 years ago, Virginia Tech experienced what is still the deadliest school shooting ever. 27 students and five staff members were tragically murdered. Today, we remember their legacy and the impact they had on our community. #VTWeRemember
My heart is with the entire Hokie community today as we remember the 32 lives stolen from us 18 years ago. We must honor their lives with urgent action to free America from gun violence #VTWeRemember #VirginiaTech #VTAlum

@virginiatech.bsky.social This year we did the Run in Remembrance 3.2 for 32 at Pocahontas State Park. We are Virginia Tech. 🦃❤️ Go Hokies!
#VT32Run #VTWeRemember
What an incredible turnout!
GO HOKIES!
#VTWeRemember
A large crowd of people, many wearing Virginia Tech gear, participate in the Run in Remembrance on a tree-lined Drillfield Drive. Orange, maroon, and white balloons form an arch over the path, and banners and signs are visible in the background. The atmosphere is energetic and united, with people of all ages walking and running together.
3.2 for 32. 🧡
An estimated 15,500 Hokies came together for this year’s #VT32Run to honor those who were killed on April 16, 2007. #VTWeRemember
What's a Hokie? I am. #VTWeRemember
It’s been 14 years since 33 of my classmates were killed. Lucky to have been late to class that day. #VTWeRemember
