Remembering the Fallen

We here at Gobbler Country pride ourselves on bringing you unadulterated thoughts and opinions regarding the athletic endeavors of Virginia Tech’s student athletes. Although that remains our focus there are times when we shift our gaze to other realities. This weekend is one of those instances. Monday is Memorial Day, but many of us, including me, will be celebrating today. While I have no issues with celebrations, and in fact I would argue that spending time with friends and family is exactly what Memorial Day should be about, I do feel that often the spirit of the day is lost.
