Perhaps it is that very image that brought them together at the Poff Building downtown.
Or at General Electric in Salem, taking time away from work to remember the fallen. [NAT SOUND] [RUNS05]
If they didn't find answers at the First Presbyterian church, they at least found comfort in song and prayer.
And patriotism wasn't hard to spot in Radford, even in small congregations.
It was a test, they say, and it was a test that America will pass.))

One pastor I spoke with today told me that if there was anything positive to come out of Tuesday's tragedy it is a sudden resurgence of faith.
He said more people came to church this week than every before.
