POTUS welcomes Apples
Wethepeople
Washington D.C.
In a trip not made public until it had concluded, it was today learned that the Apples this past weekend made a surprise visit to Washington D.C. as special guest of Barack Obama.
As is often the case, security issues prohibited the Apples from announcing their visit in advance. "We've been known to ruffle a few feathers in D.C." so we thought it best that we not make a big deal about the trip said AGFHOF Don Bernitt as he stepped off team plane Apple 1 following the teams return trip to Nashville.
The Apples visit to D.C. included an Easter Sunrise service at the Jefferson Memorial followed by a trip to visit the first family. "Not sure where the mix up happened but the President apparently had the dates wrong and was not home when we went by the White House" said Apple Patty Pender before climbing into a Secret Service limo for a 2 hour visit to Arlington National Cemetery.
"Arlington is a special place of hallowed grounds" said Bernitt as he described the visit that included viewings of the Changing of the Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and quiet moments at the graves of John F Kennedy, Robert F Kennedy, Ted Kennedy and astronauts from the Challenger and Discovery disasters.
Before departing Arlington for their return to Nashville, the Apples also were seen visiting the recently open memorial to all American women who have served in our countries armed forces. Not lost on the moment was the fact that Apple Patty Pender is herself a veteran having flown helicopters in the United States Army before joining the Apples as starting center fielder and team pilot.
