What happened
First Lady Melania Trump said the school at Camp Lejeune had demonstrated it is ready to lead its mission to educate, engage, and empower each student to succeed in a dynamic world, and that its students had fully embraced the Presidential Artificial Intelligence Challenge, showcasing creativity and technical vision for the future of AI. She said the Lejeune and New River community had impressed her that day.
Turning to military families, the First Lady called them the quiet strength of the nation, saying their love, patience, and courage give service members the confidence to serve with honor.
In a Thanksgiving-season message delivered during the visit with Second Lady Usha Vance, she urged remembrance of what unites Americans — a shared love of country, faith in one another, and pride in those who serve — and wished the community a happy Thanksgiving.
Why it matters
The visit pairs the First Lady’s education and AI-challenge initiative with the administration’s military-family outreach at one of the Marine Corps’ largest installations.
