BREAKING News From DC!!!
Secret Service SWARMS Vice President's House.
The Secret Service was out in full force at the Number One Observatory Circle this past
weekend and it was not for the reason you might think.
Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen hosted Secret Service members and their families
for a dinner and get together to honor them for their service.
On Twitter he posted,
"Honored to host the selfless and dedicated men and women of the Secret Service."
One picture showed the Vice President bending over with a son of one of his Secret Service
officers and giving him a play car toy.
The little boy was wearing a sweater and a bow tie.
All the kids had the opportunity to see the numerous Christmas Trees around the house
as well as visit with the Vice President and his wife.
When speaking about the event the Vice President posted to Twitter that he and Karen,
"Enjoyed meeting their families and thanking them for their service!"
The pictures of the event show how beautifully decorated their residence was.
Turns out that over forty volunteers offered up their time to decorate the Vice Presidential
residence for free.
Their decorations included a bountiful door wreath and a large star hanging on
the wall.
Other showcases in the house include a gorgeous Nativity scene, an immaculate and large Gingerbread
house, mantle candles, stockings, and a Christmas tree with presents underneath already.
Shortly before the Secret Service event took place the presidential and vice presidential
Christmas cards were taken and sent out.
The Second Lady tweeted out the picture of herself and her husband next to an ornament-filled
Christmas tree in the Vice Presidential residence.
In the picture, they were surrounded by a mantle that was decorated with a garland and
gifts that were wrapped around the base of the Christmas tree.
In the spirit of Christmas and the holidays, the Second Lady has not only hosted the Secret
Service but done innumerable other projects to bring Christmas to others.
The White House noted this in one of their press releases,
"As Christmas approaches, Second Lady Karen Pence visited with children receiving medical
care to give them coloring books and crayons while also offering encouraging words to them
and their families.
First, Mrs. Pence visited patients, families, and staff members at Medstar Georgetown University
Hospital in Washington, DC.
Upon arrival, she was greeted by Katie Wallace, the Child Life Coordinator, and Eileen Ferrell,
Chief Nursing Officer.
The staff led Mrs. Pence to the in-patient area where she met with young patients.
The Second Lady spoke with the children and their families and gave them coloring books
and crayons.
Then, Mrs. Pence visited the pediatric outpatient hematology/oncology clinic.
There, she visited the art therapy program that is provided by Tracy's Kids.
She gave a child who was meeting with one of the art therapists a coloring book and
crayons.
She gave the art therapist a charm bracelet in appreciation for her work in art therapy.
"The children at Medstar Georgetown University Hospital provide so much inspiration and hope,"
said Mrs. Pence.
"I was encouraged by the positive spirits and laughter and appreciate the opportunity
to share some time with them during this holiday season."
"We're so pleased to have a visit from Mrs. Pence to help brighten the days of our
sick children who unfortunately must be hospitalized so close to the holidays," said Eileen Ferrell,
Chief Nursing Officer.
"We thank her for the smiles she spread here today at MedStar Georgetown."
Mrs. Pence also visited children at the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Washington,
DC.
Upon arrival, the Second Lady was greeted by Julie Lowe, Director of Marketing and Community
Engagement, and Dustin Davis, Director of Operations.
Then, Mrs. Pence met with children and their families and gave them coloring books and
crayons.
To date, the two Ronald McDonald Houses in Washington, DC and Fairfax, Virginia have
served over 23 Pediatric departments from 16 hospitals and doctors' offices, including
children from Neonatal ICU, Cardiac ICU, Pediatric Transplant, and Hematology and Oncology."
The Trump administration has made honoring and protecting veterans a core philosophy
of their administration.
At every turn, they honor military officials, veterans, and their families and the President
signs laws constantly to enhance the services that are provided to them.
It is clear that the honor and respect the White House holds for veterans and the military
extends to all individuals in service-oriented positions and fields such as law enforcement
and the Secret Service.
This party the Vice President and his wife held shows just that.
This country is lucky to have leaders who recognize the hard work that ordinary Americans
take on every day in order to keep this country safe.
The White House will no doubt continue to hold functions such as these that provide
the respectable awareness for their service that service members deserve.
