And they called on us to support the Americans who serve us all year round: our men and women in uniform.
The First Lady: As always, many of our troops are far from home this time of year, and their families are serving and sacrificing right along with them. Their courage and dedication allow the rest of us to enjoy this season. That´s why we´ve tried to serve them as well as they´ve served this country.
"So as we look forward to the New Year, let´s resolve to recommit ourselves to the values we share. And on behalf of the all the Obamas --
