elcome to the fall issue of Inside the White House, a newsletter that
provides information about some of the interesting things happening in
Washington, D.C. This issue focuses on the White House Military Office --
a staff of dedicated men and women who work behind the scenes to help the
President perform his duties and to make the White House a welcoming
place for visitors from around the world.
You may be surprised to learn that members of our Nation's Armed Forces
are directly involved with so many of the President's day-to-day
activities. I rely on the staff of the Military Office to oversee my
travel, assist me in hosting visiting dignitaries, provide music at
official functions, and maintain Camp David, the presidential retreat. If
you've ever seen Air Force One or a presidential motorcade arrive in your
town, watched a State Arrival (a visit to the White House by a foreign
leader) on television, or read about a high-level meeting at Camp David,
you should know that members of the White House Military Office helped to
make each of these events go safely and smoothly.
I hope you enjoy reading about the many responsibilities of the White
House Military Office staff. Just like their fellow Armed Service
members who defend our interests around the globe, these men and women
work every day to maintain America's security, honor, and national pride.
