The First Lady Visits Waukesha Following Its Parade Tragedy

Frederica Freyberg:

In Waukesha this week, First Lady Jill Biden met with community members affected by the Christmas parade tragedy. The first lady honored Waukesha’s loss and recognized how the community came together in the aftermath.

Jill Biden:

We love with every piece of our hearts, even if they might be broken, and though we have been changed by this tragedy, we are not diminished. Instead, we grow together to hold both our sorrow and joy. The grannies keep dancing. The high school band keeps marching.
