First Lady Michelle Obama and Second Lady Jill Biden will attend game one of the World Series on Wednesday night in New York, where the Yankees host the Philadelphia Phillies, the White House announced.

The first game of the Series is being dedicated by Major League Baseball to U.S. military veterans returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Before the game, the women will visit the James J. Peters Veterans Administration Medical Center in the Bronx with some members of the Yankees and various Major League Baseball executives.

Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Biden are going to the game to highlight their work on helping military families. A public service announcement the women made about helping vets and their families will be shown at the game.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
