Barack Obama's White House Presidential Office (D) posted a Blog Post on June 5, 2011 | 4:44 pm - Original Item - 1 Comment and 9 Reactions

Yesterday, my husband and I were honored to visit with some of our service members and their families at the Navy’s Capodichino base in Naples, Italy. I was proud to be there as Second Lady of the United States, but I was even more proud to be there as a military mom.

We were there for a simple reason, and that was to say thank you.

On a daily basis, each of these men and women show us what words like service, strength, and sacrifice really mean. Our military families serving in the United States and around the world are truly inspiring, and they need to know that everyone at home appreciates all that they do for our nation.

The First Lady and I are working hard through our Joining Forces initiative to make sure that every American understands the sacrifices that our service members and their families are making for the security of this nation. And we’re encouraging all Americans to find ways to give back in any way they can.

Voy a comentar, que me alegro no ver en la parte izquierda una ventanita con un tipo, que está ahí como si fuese un pirata de la página cada vez que abro estas noticias con twitter. No sé si es normal o es que es un pirata yo lo cerré antes de traérmelo al facebook, pues la verdad, para mí es molesto. Ahora no sabría decirle el nombre pero el aspecto, ya que tiene una foto no me agrada y pone algo de submit o algo así que como no entiendo el idioma pues no sabría decile que significa. , parece que tampoco hay publicidad en facebook, al menos en esta página no se mueve, pues me alegro que los piratas me gustan en las películas del cine o de la tele. por hoy nada más buenas noches
