As the month of July comes to a close, the First Lady made her final public appearance before starting her August vacation. Earlier today, according to Zinie Chen of the Associated Press, she met with military families at a Norfolk, Virginia naval base:
NORFOLK, Va. — First lady Michelle Obama is calling military families “quiet heroes” and urging the public to support them.
Obama spoke Friday at a homecoming gathering at the Norfolk Navy base in Virginia. She said military families represent the best in our nation, who serve the nation in their own way when their loved ones are deployed.
The first lady suggested that local communities support their military families by helping with carpools, bringing them dinner, helping spouses get a job or keep a job, or providing pro-bono legal or mental-health services.
Obama also met separately with Navy leaders during her visit and thanked sailors for their service.
After a week of the haircut that wasn’t, being labeled as corrupt, and 6 months of whatever right wing sludge that’s been thrown at the First Lady this is a well-deserved vacation. Let’s just hope those residents on the Vineyard behave themselves, because we’ll be watching. Bon Voyage First Lady & weeMichelles!
