Merry Christmas from the President and the First Lady

Posted by Christopher Hass under Obama Blog Feeds, Service, The First Lady, The President

For the first time in a weekly address, the President is joined by the First Lady as they celebrate Christmas. They both honor those serving overseas, those who have sacrificed for their country, and the families that stand by them. You can find ways to lend our troops and their families a home through DOD’s Military Homefront , OurMilitary.mil , and of course the USO .
