Wednesday was the one-year anniversary of the ‘Joining Forces’ initiative launched by First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden.

To celebrate, Mrs. Obama paid a visit to Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” to continue to promote the effort that supports families of those in uniform.

The First Lady reminded everyone of the challenges facing family members left behind while their loved one deploys — such as raising children, unemployment, and even simple household errands.

I thought it was a nice way to highlight a segment of the population that is often-forgotten. We, as a nation, never think of the people behind-the-scenes that support our military personnel tirelessly everyday.

For more information on the big and small tasks you can do to support military families, visit the Joining Forces website.

    This is all very funny stuff!! Make sure you watch Future perform “Same Damn Time” from his album listening session at the Stankonia Studios in Atlanta: http://bit.ly/HqzzX3 if you're feeling like some good new music!
