QUOTE OF THE DAY: I know it's hard for our families -- military families to be separated from a loved one during any time, but in particular, doing the holiday season. And so we ask for God's blessings, not only on our troops who are overseas, but we ask for the Lord's blessings on our family members.

This is -- this whole operation here is cranking out a lot of care packages. So far, 480,000 soldiers overseas have received a care package. (Applause.) And with it, as I said, is a message of goodwill and hope. We're -- this is an historic time we live in. The world is changing. And as it changes, as the world becomes more free, America becomes more secure and the peace we all long for becomes more real.

And so during these holiday seasons, we thank our blessings, and one of the greatest blessings of all is the United States military and their families. Thank you for having us. I look forward to coming by to thank each of you.

Wish I was at Fort Belvoir today!!!

I went to a USO care package stuffing day when the warehouse was at Fort Meade, Md and it was a wonderful experience. When I called to volunteer for the next month, I learned that the operation had been moved to Virginia.

Good evening, I just got home from work and am happy to see these so early! I think we have a president who really cares about our troops! Thanks to you all for the welcome last night, I appreciate it.

I have been watching the live webcam as they build the platform.

I don't know why....it's really not all that exciting yet! But it will be fun later as they decorate, probably.
