RIP to him and all who died yesterday.
i attended the memorial, which brought everyone closer and helped to start the recovery process, i was about 10 rows back from the speakers which included president bush, governor kaine, and a very charismatic english professor who brought us to end the ceremony with us all chanting "lets go hokies" louder than ever. truely a special occasion and one i will never forget

WORD. That was a truly noble and selfless act. He gave his life for others. Respect!
RIP to all the victims.
