Police Support

One of the items on display at the Alumni Center Art Exhibit. On 4/16/08, as part of the Day of Remembrance observance, the Holtzman Alumni Center Museum displayed examples of art, crafts, quilts, and other memorabilia contributed since April 16, 2007. This is one of over 60,000 items that will eventually go to Special Collections at Newman Library.

This sign sign said "Police Prayers" inside the letters "VT". An American flag appears in the background, and shields from police departments all over Virginia cover the sign. Across the bottom of the sign it says, "The VA. Tech family is in our prayers ~ Operation Prevail."
