WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama challenged the audience at Monday night’s teen- and tween-filled “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future” concert to serve their country.
She got a response from the audience at the Verizon Center that surpassed even the appearance of teen star Miley Cyrus.
“You kids are the future of this great nation,” Obama said to the crowd largely made up of military families and their charged-up children.
“We need every American to serve their community including our young people,” she added.
What can kids do? she wondered aloud: Volunteer in a homeless shelter, visit an elderly person or write letters to U.S. troops.
“For many of you, they’re you’re moms and dads, right?” Obama said. “Barack, Malia, Sasha and I are so grateful for the service and sacrifice all our military families make to help keep this nation safe.”
Cyrus, who performed for the first time her inspirational song “The Climb,” returned the compliment to the Obamas’ daughters, well-known fans of Cyrus’ Disney TV alter ego “Hannah Montana.”
