President Bush released this statement: “We join our fellow Americans in praying for the families and friends whose hearts ache for their lost loved ones. We continue to be amazed by the extraordinary Hokie spirit and inspired by the survivors of this tragedy. Students, teachers, and alumni have overcome evil with good by supporting each other with love and compassion. We are humbled by their resilience and confident in the University’s bright future.“
Sen. Jim Webb: “I would also like to express my continuing admiration for the Blacksburg community and the students of Virginia Tech, who have shown grace, humanity and resilience in the wake of such tragedy.“
Former Gov. George Allen said: “On that day, all of us became members of the Hokie nation, admiring the many heroes like professor Liviu Librescu, a holocaust survivor who sacrificed his life so that his students could escape.“
