It started with a tweet:

When Ginny first said she needed help, that she needed everybody who could see her message to start reaching out, I knew she would accomplish her mission. I knew she would find a way to get a plane to Haiti and that she would get the kids to safety.

And, of course, she did.

What happened between that first tweet and the arrival of the 53 orphans in Pittsburgh this morning is a story that I suspect will never fully be told. Party lines had to be crossed. Egos had to be checked. Miracles had to happen. I've previously worked with a few of the players who were involved in the final effort, so I have a tiny glimpse of how challenging it had to have been for all of the people involved to coordinate efforts. I have a tiny glimpse, and yet I'm sure I have no idea.

She'll never admit it, but Ginny did an amazing thing, and it all started with that first tweet.

A HUGE thank you to each of you who wrote your elected officials, tweeted support, and contacted anybody you thought might be able to help. I am hugely humbled by how fantastic some of the people in "my circle" are. You know who you are. :-)
