First Lady Hits Beverly Hills, Discusses Military Families Initiative

The first lady Michelle Obama met with members of the writers, producers, directors and actors unions at the Writers Guild Theater to discuss Joining Forces, an initiative aimed at increasing public consciousness and support of military families. She explained, “In the end, this isn’t just about the stories, but about having the men and women and their families who serve our country feel the gratitude every day from a grateful nation. If we set this foundation, not just for today but for forever, regardless of whom the president is in office, that this is a part of who we are as Americans and lifting these families up … then we’ve been successful.”
