President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and Sasha Obama lined up to serve dinner to residents of the Armed Forces Retirement Home in Northwest on Wednesday. The residence has cared for the country's veterans for 165 years, President Obama said in a tweet. "I was honored to be a small part of that mission." Last year, the first family served homeless residents and veterans at Friendship Place Homeless Center.
As he served on Wednesday, the President shook hands, laughed, and chatted with residents about sports, among other things.
And earlier that day, he participated in his final Turkey Pardon ceremony. He brought his two nephews, Austin and Aaron, instead of Sasha and Malia who "had a scheduling conflict," he said. "Actually, they just couldn’t take my jokes anymore. They were fed up."
