Today and every year on this date, WE take a moment to remember how far You have come.
Today WE put aside our blue and gold and wear green and white.
Today WE gather our thoughts and WE remember, together.
Today WE showcase the strength and perseverance, that WE share, as only fellow West Virginians can.
Today WE remember that it has been a long road, and not an easy one, but You persevered and have shown Yourselves and this entire nation that inner strength.
Today, You are a model of what all of us can do to continue on after those dark, rainy nights. And that is to go from Ashes to Glory.
Today, all across this nation -
WE are....MARSHALL!!!!!
The photo above is one of my own from earlier in the year. The fountain has a water jet for each of the 70 plus people who died in the plane crash. The fountain runs from the start of football season until this day, November 14th.
This is one of the most amazing stories that you will ever hear. A team lost, a few remaining players, one of whom loved Marshall so much that he rallied people together so that We could have Marshall football. Because the university was going to end the football program.
*You can see the most moving and powerful part of the movie We Are Marshall here. It is a true and sad movie, I cannot think of it without tearing up. But these are some of the most inspiring words you can apply to your own life.
