At Whidbey Island, First Lady Jill Biden reaches out to military families

Last edited Wed Mar 10, 2021, 01:45 PM - Edit history (1)

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is in Washington hearing about the challenges military families are facing in the pandemic.

Air Force Two touched down Monday afternoon at Joint Base Lewis-McChord where Biden was greeted by Gov. Jay Inslee and his wife, Trudi.

The impact of Dr. Biden visiting military families at JBLM and Naval Air Station Whidbey Island—is one that brings hope for future collaboration.

Amy Tiemeyer is an Army and Navy veteran and her husband is in the Air Force at JBLM, preparing for deployment.

First lady visits Whidbey to meet with military families

OAK HARBOR — During a visit to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island Tuesday, first lady Jill Biden asked Oak Harbor military families how the U.S. government can better support them.

It was her second stop on a listening tour of three West Coast military installations this week. On Monday, she visited Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, and later Tuesday she flew to the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center in Twentynine Palms, California.

“We want to know what challenges you face, what’s getting in your way,” Biden said to an audience of military spouses on Whidbey Island. “And just as importantly, we want to know what’s working at places like Whidbey.”

She arrived at NAS Whidbey just before noon and toured one of the aircraft hangars before going to a conference room to read her remarks.

"read her remarks" as opposed to BSing off the top of her head about how she is the most popular first lady EVER?
How about "discuss with the spouses"?
