President Biden brings Thanksgiving pies to Nantucket firefighters
NANTUCKET - Nantucket firefighters who had to work on Thanksgiving got a special visit from the President of the United States.
President Joe Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden brought their 2-year-old grandson, Beau, to the Nantucket firehouse Thursday morning.
They brought pumpkin pies for the firefighters. The firefighters gave Beau a miniature helmet as a gift.
The president then headed back to his rental home to call military families to thank them for their service.
Jill and I were honored to speak with women and men of our Armed Forces this afternoon.
