Moments that Matter to me πΊπΈ
The Corps. The Honor Guard. Our HokieNation standing to honor. The singing of our national anthem. The weekly chosen Corps flag bearers ready to accept the flags from the Team.

#Hokies#ThisIsHome
Before there was a nation, there was a choice β to stand, to sacrifice, and to believe in a future not yet realized.
250 years later, that legacy continues at the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets. We did not create the path. We are entrusted to walk it.
Happy birthday, America!
@WillStewartTSL We need to make sure that they are properly coordinated. I donβt want to become the Scott Stadium of the South or the William-Brice stadium of the north β¦ two places that I think abuse them and takes away from the experience. I want to keep Lane Stadium β¦ Lane but WIN!

A Boy Gave $20 He Found in a Parking Lot to a Soldier Because His Father Was a Soldier
Eight-year-old Myles Eckert found a $20 bill in a Cracker Barrel parking lot in Ohio. He planned to buy a video game with it.Then he saw Lt. Col. Frank Dailey, a U.S. Air Force officer in uniform.
Mylesβs own father, Army Sgt. Andy Eckert had been killed in Iraq when Myles was just five weeks old.Myles wrapped the money in a handwritten note that read:
βDear Soldier, my dad was a soldier. Heβs in heaven now. I found this $20 in the parking lot. We like to pay it forward in my family. Itβs your lucky day. Thank you for your service. Signed, Myles Eckert.β
He gave it to the surprised officer.
The simple act deeply moved Lt. Col. Dailey, who said the boy gave him far more than money β a renewed sense of purpose.
On #MemorialDay, and each day, we reflect upon those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. π§‘
Take time to visit the Pylons & the Cenotaph in War Memorial Court, etched with the names of every #VirginiaTech student and graduate who died defending our nationβs freedom.
Today, they took the oathβstepping into a calling bigger than themselves. We congratulate our cadets who commissioned into the U.S. military and we are proud of their service, leadership, and commitment to something greater.
