Jill Biden began her last overseas trip as first lady this week at a Navy base in Sicily, speaking to military families before visiting the small Sicilian village where her great-grandparents once lived. Along with her daughter Ashley, the wife of outgoing President Joe Biden arrived at Naval Air Station Sigonella on Wednesday as part of a six-day trip.
Speaking to about 150 military members and their families at NAS Sigonella, Biden highlighted her family’s military service. Her father was a Navy signalman in World War II, and her son Maj. Beau Biden served in Iraq with the Delaware Army National Guard in the years before his death from cancer in 2015.
