Jill Biden thanks military spouses in Colorado for their service
First lady Jill Biden extended her gratitude to military spouses for their service on Thursday at an Army base in Colorado.
Biden spoke at Fort Carson military base near Colorado Springs at an event hosted by the United Service Organization Spouse Connection ahead of Military Spouse Appreciation Day on Friday. The group is a nonprofit established by former President Theodore Roosevelt before WWII that provides domestic and overseas help to service members and their families.
“Thank you for your service. Thank you for all that you’ve done for our nation. And for me as well, as a military mom and a military daughter,” Biden said.
In her speech, Biden empathized with the loneliness and anxiety that comes with being married to a service member overseas and commended the spouses’ perseverance and ability to “push through the hard times.”
