THE PRESIDENT: Two-hundred-eighty-nine-thousand toys being distributed from here to children throughout D.C.
It's an interesting process. The toys are collected, the Marines sort with D.C. police and distribute. Is that right?
VOLUNTEER: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Thanks for doing this -- a great part of the compassion of our country. Now, I told our troops that, one, we're a great military; we're great because of the men and women who serve; we're great because of our strength. We're also great because they're decent people who care about a neighbor in need.
So Laura and I are thrilled to be here. Thank you all for your service.
We're getting to work.
END 3:19 P.M. EST
