A resident of Vermillion, South Dakota, 11-year-old Rebecca had been waiting for the President to visit her state for the last six years. Last month, she took matters into her own hands and wrote the President a letter laying out her best arguments for him to come: "We are the warmest of the Dakotas ... and when I just go to the park, I sometimes see coyotes, hawks, and bald eagles."

Last Friday, the President made it to South Dakota -- and received a follow-up note from Rebecca, who thanked him for finally visiting her home state.

Weekly Address: Honoring the 70th Anniversary of V-E Day

In this week's address, the President honored the 70th anniversary of V-E Day. On this occasion, we commemorate the Allied victory in Europe during World War II. It is a day to pay tribute to the men and women who decades ago served and sacrificed for the cause of freedom. This was the generation that, by ending the war, literally saved the world, laying a foundation for peace.

Quote of the Day

"The lesson is not that we pull up the drawbridge and build a moat around ourselves. The lesson is that we've got to make sure that the trade deals that we do shape are the ones that allow us to compete fairly."
