Haven't been able to find this information anywhere, so I'll ask the greatest group of detectives I know: the members of FreeRepublic.

Does anyone know the identity of the lovely young lady who held the Bible for Mattis during his swearing-in ceremony?

KEYWORDS: jamesmattis; mattis; secdef; swearingin

I hoped it was the doll that was behind him for his confirmation hearing.

Except that photo is Gen Mattis. We speculated that it could be his granddaughter

I know, I had both pics up and grabbed the wrong caption, so I had the admin delete. Sorry.

“Somebody’s Dottir”. We’ll find out eventually.
I heard that when Kelly was sworn in, he did the Sign Of The Cross.

My guess it is his daughter. They resemble one another.

He’s never been married and has no children.

Maybe an office person, WH staffer, a niece???

glasses?

The young lady is just holding a bible for goodness sakes and to be fair, Mad Dog is not Matt Dillon or Tom Cruise - just a great warrior. We are blessed to have folks like that. Let's not question the competence or patriotism of those serving the United States under Trump and Pence unless we have cause to question such things.

Haven’t read any other comments, but the young lady appears to bear a strong resemblance so I’m going with his daughter as my guess - FWIW

Secretary of Defense
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

I understand one of his Marines said he would be Secretary of OFFENSE..

Then again, maybe not because it wasn’t screamed from the rooftops by MSM and the LIBS about him being a warmonger.....

I was wondering who she was too. She looks a lot like one of my daughters. And yes, I saw Kelly’s sign of the cross.

If he’s never been married, nor has children of his own, then maybe its his niece, cousin’s daughter or friend’s daughter. She is lovely.
