A special work of art
Virginia Tech sophomore engineering major Tian Xia dropped a piece of artwork with the faces of the 32 victims at tne memorial, behind where the cadets were standing. He said his girlfriend, Paula Lee, an art major at Northern Virginia Community College, made the piece.
"Because we all go to Tech and she knows a lot of poeple who go to Tech, she wanted to make it," Xia said. Lee did not know any of the victims.
Xia stood in line with about 30 other visitors to the memorial.
Media photographers are beginning to line up along the memorial to make certain they have a good spot for the candlelit vigil at dusk.
