Attached is the flyer explaining about Hokie Hope.

Last night, I needed to do something, so I made a quick little movie. I love the song. It makes me feel better to watch it so I thought I would share it.

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/IRAoJvfQyqE"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/IRAoJvfQyqE" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>
</center>
Also, if anyone is interested in Nikki Giovanni's poem. It was wonderful.

<center><font color="orange"> We are Virginia Tech.
<font color="#880000">We are sad today and we will be sad for quite awhile. We are not moving on, we are embracing our mourning.
<font color="orange"> We are Virginia Tech.
<font color="#880000">We are strong enough to know when to cry and sad enough to know we must laugh again.
<font color="orange"> We are Virginia Tech.
<font color="#880000">We do not understand this tragedy. We know we did not deserve it but neither does a child in Africa dying of AIDS, but neither do the invisible children walking the night to avoid being captured by a rogue army. Neither does the baby elephant watching his community be devastated for ivory; neither does the Appalachian infant killed in the middle of the night in his crib in the home his father built with his own hands being run over by a boulder because the land was destabilized. No one deserves a tragedy.
<font color="orange"> We are Virginia Tech.
<font color="#880000">The Hokie Nation embraces our own with open heart and hands to those who offer their hearts and minds. We are strong and brave and innocent and unafraid. We are better than we think, not quite what we want to be. We are alive to the imagination and the possibility we will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears, through all this sadness.
<font color="orange"> We are the Hokies.
<font color="#880000">We will prevail, we will prevail.
<font color="orange"> We are Virginia Tech. </font> </font></font> </center>

1day~ you never cease to amaze me. You always care so much and give so much and ask for so little in return. There are so few people who have hearts as big as yours and Mr Hokies.

TY for sharing this with us .. thank you for doing all you do.

{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{ HOKIE NATION }}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

I'll be doing it. Our whole school is participating. The poem is beautiful, but I can't bring myself to watch the video right now. Thank you for posting it nonetheless--I'm sure it's a wonderful tribute.

God bless all of you,
~muse
