Jill Biden: 'We're bringing love from America'
"We are trying to bring unity," she said of her wardrobe message.

She explained how supporting military families by providing support for entrepreneurship, quality child care, food and mental health resources was one of her top priorities and said her initiative as first lady will help make sure that the families of service members, including those stationed abroad, deserve America's backing.
\"Our military is a community bound together by love,\" she added. \"Love for our country. Love for the men and women who served beside you, your husbands and wives, your moms and dads, and love for the communities that you build together.\"

She also raised Joining Forces, an initiative for military families she and Michelle Obama founded in 2011, and restarted as first lady ahead of taking part in some events related to that work over the next few days.
To highlight her cause en route to the U.K., she tweeted, \"Prepping for the G7,\" along with a photo of her reviewing a binder on Air Force One.

While Biden met with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday, she took tea with her counterpart, Carrie Johnson. Plans to tour St. Michael’s Mount off the coast of Cornwall had to be canceled due to poor weather.
She will then take part Friday in welcoming events at the G-7 summit -- the first meeting of the world's leaders in two years due to the deadly coronavirus pandemic.

On Saturday, she's slated to hold a discussion with members of Bude Surf Veterans, a volunteer group that assists U.K. military veterans with physical or mental health injuries through surfing.
On her final day, the first lady and the president will meet Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle.
\"Joe and I are both looking forward to meeting the Queen, and that's an exciting part of the visit for us,\" Biden said Thursday.

She's also slated on Sunday to meet with U.K. veterans who participated in Walk of America, a 2018 event led by Walking with the Wounded in which three veterans from the U.S. and three veterans from the U.K., walked 1,000 miles across the U.S. to share the stories of wounded, ill, or injured service members. The first lady served as the patron of the expedition and joined the participants in St. Louis at the time.
Turning 70 last week in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, Biden is the oldest sitting first lady in modern history, and the first to hold a paid job outside of the White House, continuing her longtime career as a community college English teacher.
