The First Lady is greeted by the Charge d'Affairs of the U.S. Embassy in Jordan, David Hale, as a member of the Jordanian armed forces salutes upon her arrival in Amman.

Waving as she steps off the plane. Note the seal of the Department of the Air Force, which is her official escort for the trip. Although the plane certainly is one from the presidential fleet used for Air Force One and Air Force Two duty, as a non-governmental official, the First Lady does not have a seal of her own.

God bless the security detail protecting her on this trip. Make their eyes sharper and their reactions quicker, and please keep Laura and all those traveling with her safe.

Waving before getting into her limo.
