The April 16 Memorial in Blacksburg, VA, is a poignant tribute established in honor of the 32 members of the Virginia Tech community who tragically lost their lives during the events of April 16. It features a semi-circle of engraved Hokie Stones, symbolizing the spirit, courage, and determination of the university's community to remember and reflect on their legacy. Designed with two stone pathways for accessibility, the memorial includes a central stone commemorating all victims and a memorial flower area, enhanced by ground lighting for nighttime illumination. This thoughtful site stands as a sacred place for mourning and remembrance, embodying the enduring strength of the Hokie family. Generated from the website
