Third Thursday: Vital Voices with Andrew Och
Explore how First Ladies have supported U.S. military service members and veterans since the end of the Revolutionary War.
Join historian Andrew Och, known as The First Ladies Man, for a fascinating look at how America’s First Ladies have supported military veterans throughout U.S. history, while enjoying wine & cheese!
Long before well-known initiatives like Be Best, Let’s Move!, and Just Say No, First Ladies were using their influence to improve the lives of Americans and advocate for important causes.
This special Third Thursday program explores the efforts of First Ladies—including Florence Harding, Jill Biden, and others—who championed veterans and military families across American history.
Part of the program “Celebrating America 250 Through the Lives and Accomplishments of Our U.S. First Ladies: From the Battlefield to the White House.”
