Forbes Statement on the Virginia Tech
Tragedy |
Washington, D.C. –
Congressman J. Randy
Forbes (VA-04) has issued the following statement about the tragedy
on the campus of Virginia Tech today in Blacksburg:
“Today brought unimaginable horror and sadness to
Virginia Tech University and the Commonwealth of Virginia. Although
over seven million people call the Commonwealth home, Virginia is
and has always been like a large family. Virginia Tech is such a
prominent and large university, and almost all of us have family,
coworkers, neighbors, friends, or members of our churches that are
attending or are alumni of this much-loved institution. It feels
like we have lost part of our family. Although there are questions
that remain to be answered, right now, our attention and our prayers
are with the victims, their families, and the entire Virginia Tech
community.”
