It isn't too often that you get a chance to meet a President or a First Lady.  But for the service men and women who are serving our Country at Whiteman Air Force Base in Knob Noster, and for a few schools in the area, they will get that opportunity.  This First Lady is more than just a First Lady.  She has a Doctorate in Education and has been educating and teaching for most of her adult life. She got her Doctorate at age 55 from the University of Deleware, and has been a professor of English at Northern Virginia Community College since 2009.

I am a little jealous of the kids who will get this opportunity.  But I am also grateful to the men and women protecting our country.  I hope all of them will show the First Lady and our Secretary the respect they deserve.  If any of you know someone who is a part of the media, they can click HERE for more info about covering the event.
