BLACKSBURG -- Gov. Timothy M. Kaine will speak this morning in Blacksburg at a ceremony to mark the passing of one year since the Virginia Tech massacre.

Kaine will speak in a 10:30 a.m. address at Virginia Tech's drillfield as part of a service to recognize the 32 people who were killed by a gunman on campus last April 16.

The governor has also ordered the state flag to be lowered to half-staff and will have a statewide moment of silence, followed by a tolling of bells.
