February 14th, 2018 will go down as the most memorable Valentine’s Day in American history – and not for its record chocolate and flower sales.

And most importantly, it will mark another year passed since seventeen families were robbed of their loved ones, and since seventeen students and faculty members were suddenly robbed of their lives and futures in the midst of a regular school day.
