QUOTE OF THE DAY: I know it's hard for our families -- military families to be separated from a loved one during any time, but in particular, doing the holiday season. And so we ask for God's blessings, not only on our troops who are overseas, but we ask for the Lord's blessings on our family members.
This is -- this whole operation here is cranking out a lot of care packages. So far, 480,000 soldiers overseas have received a care package. (Applause.) And with it, as I said, is a message of goodwill and hope. We're -- this is an historic time we live in. The world is changing. And as it changes, as the world becomes more free, America becomes more secure and the peace we all long for becomes more real.
And so during these holiday seasons, we thank our blessings, and one of the greatest blessings of all is the United States military and their families. Thank you for having us. I look forward to coming by to thank each of you.

Wish I was at Fort Belvoir today!!!
I went to a USO care package stuffing day when the warehouse was at Fort Meade, Md and it was a wonderful experience. When I called to volunteer for the next month, I learned that the operation had been moved to Virginia.

Thanks Mike, for the ping and posting the dose. Great pictures. It is very refreshing to see the President doing volunteer work like this, and like Habitat for Humanity. He is so busy but makes time for things like this. And since it is past the election you KNOW it isn't a campaign thingee. He shows a great attitude toward volunteer work.

I must say that I am thankful every day that he is the President, rather than the alternative.
