Originally uploaded by Barack Obama

Before President Barack Obama was President, he was honoring our military by visiting, hugging, listening to the various stories of those who have served and appreciating the sacrifices of those who currently serve the USA in a variety of capacities in the USA and outside the USA.

Those who serve in the military are my heroes. I appreciate all the sacrifices they have made for all USA citizens.

I pray eventually all of the men servicing in Iraq will come home safe but in the mean while I will pray they are safe in Iraq and where else they maybe in the world.

You are loved and thought about all the time!

"I think that today there is consistency and probably a depth to people's exposure to me. When you're in a campaign setting, there's just a narrow prism through which people see not just the wives, but the candidates themselves. That's why it never really bothered me."
