First lady Jill Biden wrote a letter to military families, said 'my heart is with you'

The U.S. First lady Jill Biden has posted a heart-breaking letter to military families on her Facebook page.

This week’s tragic attack outside of the Kabul airport left us with the stinging reality of the ultimate sacrifice you are willing to make. Please join me in praying for the fallen and those still serving on the frontlines, as well as their families, the first lady Biden wrote in a letter to the military families.

As a military mom, she continued, I’ve seen what makes this community unlike any other. It’s bound together by love—love for our country and the values we are founded upon; love for those who serve, including the allies who stand alongside us; and love for the communities we build together. That love is what drives you to answer your nation’s call, again and again.

She said she has seen service members sharing water and food with Afghan children waiting at the Kabul airport and military families welcoming Afghan refugees home to the United States with donations and friendship.

She thanks them for their continued service.

“As our mission in Afghanistan comes to an end, you may be experiencing many emotions. Know that my heart is with you as you navigate what comes next for your family, your community, and our nation. You are not alone. … As a nation, we have asked so much of you these last twenty years. From missed birthdays and holidays to illnesses and injuries to the ultimate sacrifice a family can make, you have given us more than we can ever repay. What we can do is match your devotion with our own. We can stand beside you and honor your service. If you need to talk to someone, reach out,” she said.
