Thanks for the link, MJ, that is indeed a powerful speech.
These are beautiful picture to commemorate a horrific event.
Here is the link to President Casteen's speech. Following one of the worst events in UVa's history and to commemorate, honorably, the very tragic life of the victim, I believe it is a poweful speech.
