Liviu Librescu Scholarship Awarded By Dr. Ignatius Piazza
and Front Sight Firearms Training Institute to the Students
Professor Librescu Saved During the Virginia Tech Massacre


LAS VEGAS, NEVADA:  When the shooting attack reached his
classroom, 76 year old Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor
and Israeli engineering and math lecturer at Virginia Tech,
blocked the doorway with his body and commanded his
students to flee.  Professor Librescu's heroic actions
allowed his students to escape through open windows saving
their lives at the expense of his own.

Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Founder and Director of Front Sight
Firearms Training Institute near Las Vegas, NV, is honoring
Professor Librescu's valiant stand to protect his students
by awarding each of them a Front Sight Firearms Training
Institute "Legacy" Lifetime Membership so they may receive
world-class self defense firearms training and forever have
the education and ability to protect themselves, their
loved ones and their peers.  

A Front Sight Firearms Training Institute "Legacy" Lifetime
Membership is valued at $8,900 and will be awarded to each
student Professor Librescu saved in his classroom by
willingly giving his life for theirs.

The benefits of the Legacy Membership
(http://www.frontsight.com/legacy-membership.asp)
include a  lifetime of training in Empty Hand Defense,
Edged Weapons, and  Front Sight's most popular Defensive
Handgun, Tactical Shotgun, and Practical Rifle courses.  

When asked why Front Sight is willing to provide tens of
thousands of dollars in free lifetime training memberships
to Professor Librescu's students, Dr. Piazza responded,
"Professor Librescu's actions under fire are inspiring. He
gave his life to save his students.  I want the Librescu
family to know that such valor does not go unrecognized or
unrewarded.  Front Sight will now look after Professor
Librescu's students by providing them with a lifetime of
training that far exceeds law enforcement and military
standards without any bootcamp mentality or drill
instructor attitudes.  With Front Sight's training,
Professor Librescu may rest in peace, knowing his
students  will have the mindset and ability to protect
themselves, their loved ones, and their peers for the rest
of their lives.  They will never have to run in fear again.
His legacy as a professor and protector will live on with
each of his students."

Those students who were saved by Professor Librescu's
heroism and would like to accept a Front Sight Firearms
Training Institute Legacy Lifetime Membership, may simply
mail a letter signed by the administrator of the Virginia
Tech Engineering Department verifying they were present in
Professor Librescu's class the day he saved their lives and
Dr. Piazza will personally arrange delivery of their Legacy
Lifetime Membership.

Piazza adds, "Just as Professor Librescu's experience as a
Holocaust survivor burned into his character the importance
of standing tall against aggression and hate, his students
will forever carry the understanding that such irrational
violence can happen at any time and any place. Front
Sight's training will give them the ability to stop such
madness at a moment's notice."    

Wow.  For a man who cherished life so much after surviving the horrors he faced, then to freely give it up to save his students; children.  That is beautiful.
