She said: “So I am the mother of the National Guard.” She added that these baskets are “Thank you for leaving your hometown and coming to the US capital.” President Biden thanked the Chief of the National Guard in a call on Friday.
The first lady said: “I really appreciate what you have done.” “The National Guard will always occupy a special place in the heart of all Biden.”
She focused on the services provided by Whitman-Walker Health for cancer patients, which has a history of serving HIV/AIDS patients and LGBTQ communities. The clinic received federal funding to help provide primary care services in underserved areas.

She said: “We just need to work together to solve some of these problems.” “The first thing we have to do is to deal with this pandemic, get everyone vaccinated, return to work, return to school, and make Things returned to a new normal.”
