"6/ The effort to get these folks through the streets of Kabul, into the airport, onto a flight to safety and, finally, to the U.S., was a long, emotional & tumultuous saga. To see them snake through the lines at Dulles to be processed for their new visa status was overwhelming."Read on Twitter
"5/ They were some of the first Afghans who'd been evacuated to other countries to land in the U.S. As I hugged them as they stepped off the plane, it was hard not to think that they were going through the same experiences my own ancestors did at Ellis Island not so long ago."Read on Twitter
"4/ So when we finally heard the date theyd be arriving, I knew we had to be there as they stepped off the plane to start this new chapter. In late March, I joined a few of my staffers, a group from @SpiritAmerica & staff from the @michiganstateu GRAIN program to do just that."Read on Twitter
