Lest we forget...
The Tragedy That Shaped Tim Kaine

When Seung-Hui Cho sprayed bullets at Colin Goddard and his classmates in a Virginia Tech French class
on April 16, 2007, Tim Kaine—then Virginia’s governor—was in Japan.
Despite that, Kaine was the first public official, elected or otherwise, to visit Goddard in the hospital.

Outstanding read and a tribute to the heart & soul of Tim Kaine.
