President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden took time on Thanksgiving to visit Coast Guard service members.
On Thursday, Biden and the first lady traveled to the Coast Guard Brant Station on Nantucket to thank service members for their sacrifice and take photos with them.
When asked what he is thankful for, Biden said, “I’m not joking when I say I’m thankful for these guys.”
He added, “Thankful for them and everybody, I mean that from the bottom of my heart. I’ve been all over the world, I’ve watched these people. I’ve watched them in the South China Sea, I’ve watched them in Afghanistan and Iraq, watching them in South America, wherever they are people wonder what America is. They look and they see them, that’s who they see. They don’t see us here. They see them. And they make me proud.”
