Watch the 2012 American Legion Boys Nation senators greet President Obama.
It’s a tradition for the 98 senators involved in The American Legion Boys Nation program to visit the White House and meet the standing president. And during the 67th session of Boys Nation, the senators walked away from the White House on July 27 with a memory that will last a lifetime — they shook hands with, talked to and hugged President Obama. They too stood on the front lawn and waved to Obama as he boarded the Marine One helicopter.
The White House staff captured these moments on video, which can be viewed here.
