First lady Jill Biden is paying a visit to National Guard troops stationed outside of the U.S. Capitol to thank them for keeping her and her family safe during her husband’s inauguration.
“I just wanted to come today to say thank you to all of you for keeping me and my family safe and I know that you’ve left your home states. The Bidens are a National Guard family. Our son Beau was Delaware Army National Guard. He served for a year in Iraq in 2008 and 2009,” Jill Biden said.
She added, “I just wanted to say thank you from President Biden and from the entire Biden family. So the White House baked you some chocolate chip cookies. I can’t say that I baked them all myself.”
Jill Biden told the troops the National Guard “will always hold a special place in the heart of all the Bidens.”

In her first video posted to the @FLOTUS Twitter account Thursday, Jill Biden celebrated the success of the inauguration and those who helped keep it safe, as IJR reported.
“It was a culmination of thousands of people working together to create something incredible. Especially, in this uniquely difficult year,” she said.
