Virgina Tech Shooting
Apr 30 2007, 7:48 PM EDT
I believe that even though tragedies like this does not affect most of the people directly, I believe it is great that our nation reacts so quickly to show love and support. I am glad that I live in a country where people have big hearts and care for others so freely. I know that if myself of someone that was close to me was in a situation such as this, I would greatly appreciate the fact that so many people across the country wanted to do something to show their love and support. Also I thought it was really cool that even in the sports world they had many teams honoring the victims and their families. All over ESPN they shows team across the MLB wearing Virginia Tech baseball caps in honor of the school. Also during Ohio State's annual spring game the players helmets had a VT decal on the side to show that they were supporting them. This weekend I attending a Columbus Crew MLS game against D.C. United and they had D.C.'s colors of their jerseys changed to Virgina Tech colors in honor of the University, after the game they were auctioned off on VT's webpage and all of the proceeds went to the school. Even though it is a terrible tragedy and the news coverage at times was somewhat rude, I believe that it allowed people across the country to learn about it, which in turn brought out the good in Americans. In all it is a terrible tragedy and it is sad that something like this or 9/11 has to bring America closer, but it shows that we are a caring nation and we will do anything for our fellow Americans when they are in pain.
Do you find this valuable?
