Hillary Clinton has a special message for her Pantsuit Nation supporters

The secret's out, and millions of Hillary Clinton supporters couldn't be happier about it.

Two weeks ago, a Clinton supporter in Maine created Pantsuit Nation, an invite-only secret Facebook group for fans wanting to share stories and photos about Clinton, voting, the election, and, of course, pantsuits. There are now more than 2.8 million members, including one with connections to Clinton: Hillary for America's head of digital, Jenna Lowenstein, who on Tuesday posted that she showed Clinton some of the messages and photos from the group. The Democratic presidential nominee was compelled to write them a note.

Clinton said she loved the name Pantsuit Nation, and thanked her supporters "from the bottom of my heart." The election has been "long, hard-fought, and at times it made us question who we are as Americans," she said, and what "truly warms my heart is the thousands of comments of support and love you all send to each other. I'm honored and humbled to have all of you with me, but I'm even prouder to see this community represent the best of America; people of all backgrounds and beliefs who share a vision for a brighter future for our children, and who have each other's backs." She ended her message on a positive note: "Tonight, I hope we'll finally break through that highest, hardest glass ceiling together, and use those pantsuits for the best occasion of all — celebrating!"
