“We are in awe of their courage and we are eternally in their debt,” he said.
The White House had announced the president’s plans for the celebrations last month, noting that he and the first lady would be “welcoming military families to the South Lawn for an afternoon picnic. In the evening, staff and guests will join the military families to enjoy the traditional fireworks display provided by the National Park Service.”
