OPA-LOCKA, FLA. (WSVN) - The First Lady has made a South Florida stop.
Dr. Jill Biden touched down at around 4 p.m., Friday.
She visited the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Miami in Opa-Locka, where she read a children’s book to the young sons and daughters of coast guard members.
She also held a listening session and talked about the White House push to increase employment opportunities for spouses of members who are forced to move frequently.
“Our service members can’t focus on their mission if their families are struggling. We simply cannot expect to retain even our most dedicated service members if they’re forced to chose between love of country and love of family,” said Biden.
The first lady has visited 17 different military bases as part of the Joining Forces initiative with the ultimate goal of promoting emotional well-being among military members and their families.
