First lady Jill Biden on Wednesday traveled to the Marine Corps Base at Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, a trip that, according to the White House, included meetings with military families.
Biden's visit comes amid several weeks of military upheaval and emotional fallout in the wake of President Joe Biden's decision to adhere to the August 31 deadline for removal of US troops in Afghanistan, officially ending America's longest war. Last week, 13 members of the military, including one Marine who was based at Camp Lejeune, were killed in Kabul, by a suicide bomber.
Joining Forces serves to support military families and veterans' families, including the impact of emotional health for those families. Accompanying Biden on the trip will be Donna Berger, spouse of the commandant of the Marine Corps, Gen. David H. Berger, and Stacie Black, spouse of Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps Troy E. Black.
