Coming from a Northern Virginia native, and a Clemson fan, this is beautiful. When the Lets Go Hokies part starts, I got chills. Stay strong, Tech and God Bless.

This is what we are made of. This is the Hokie Nation. In spite of this evil, we WILL overcome. Satan has again, failed to shake us. We will never forget, but we will never give in. Officer Crouse was a true hero, and his memory will live on in us.

Please pray for the family of this officer. Please pray for the family of the man responsible. Please pray for this school, this family, this nation, the Hokie Nation. We will prevail... We are VIRGINIA TECH!!!

LET'S GO HOKIES!!!!!!

Officer Crouse - You gave all to protect us, to serve us, to keep us from harms way. I thank you, as a member of this great Hokie Nation, for your service. I will continue to pray for your family, and I hope that one day your children will know the honorable, selfless man, the hero that you were. Though I only met you once or twice around campus, I am honored to have had the pleasure to shake you hand. Godspeed, and Godbless... May you rest in peace...

Nice to see so many people that normally hate and criticize the police come out and light a candle.

I admit I have only been a part of this community for one semester, but in the 4 months that I have been here I have met hundreds of people and I have never heard a single one of them criticize the police or act in any way that implies hatred against those who serve and protect us. Just wanted to respectfully share my personal experience.

Echo taps... a Highty-Tighty tradition that lives on to honor all who serve.

I pray for Officer Crouse, his family, the hokie nation, but also for the shooter. Forgive, but neVer forgeT

The Kohima epitaph, honoring the unknown soldier says:

"When you go home, tell them of us,

and say, For their tomorrow, we gave our today."

RIP Officer Crouse.

it's how they lived."

Rest in peace, Officer Crouse

it's a shame to lose a guardian to our community, but also to our nation. a father, brother, husband, policeman, and army veteran. neVer forgeT is not a statement, rather a promise. prayers go out to the family. RIP Mr. Crouse
