Jill Biden appears in Army Wives

Some of my friends in the military think I'm nuts because I love Army Wives. Can't help it. I'm hooked. They tell me how unreal it is but when it comes to this show, considering it's about the military, it has broken the long list of failures of other attempts to show any kind of military life. Movies fail more than they succeed and so do TV shows. Army Wives will never be another MASH but it outlasted what a lot of critics had predicted. This summer fill in has a lot of loyal fans and I'm one of them.

WASHINGTON — It isn't much of a stretch for Jill Biden when she takes an acting turn in an episode of Lifetime network's "Army Wives."

The second lady, playing herself, visits the show's Fort Marshall to hear about the challenges facing military families and offer them words of encouragement.

"I'm proud to be here today as a second lady, but I'm even more proud to be here as a military mom," Biden tells a group that gathers for the post's annual fun run to benefit military kids.

In between all of the bickering, smooching and other interpersonal drama of the TV show, Biden gives the crowd a pep talk. She tells them how important it is to build "stronger ties between our civilian and military communities."

"Although only 1 percent of Americans are fighting our wars today, we need 100 percent of Americans to support them and their families," she says.
