Michelle Obama To Appear On 'Extreme Makeover' To Help Build House For Homeless Female Vets

"Extreme Makeover: Home Edition" will have a special guest.

This week, First Lady Michelle Obama will help build a home in Fayetteville, N.C. for homeless female veterans, according to the Associated Press.

The home will provide shelter for the women of the Steps N Stages Jubilee House, started by 15-year Navy veteran Barbara Marshall.

"This would allow us to get our home in a much better condition so that the women we do have housed here can be living in a house that truly represents how much we appreciate their service to our nation."

Several families will be able to live in the new house, which will also feature a resource center.

Pres. Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have done more for military families and veterans than any president since FDR.

Pres. Obama signed into law the LARGEST increase in spending for active military and veterans benefits since the original GI Bill was signed after WW2.

Michelle Obama and Jill Biden work tirelessly organizing support groups and resources to provide help for spouses and military families at home while their loved ones are away.

Yes, it is. Please note the cause. Please avoid involvement until you resolve that attitude problem. These women do not need to be exposed to the likes of whatever was behind that comment.

Whenever I read a negative comment on something that First Lady Michelle Obama receives on various sites, I always think of that saying "no good deed goes unpunished."

I'm convinced that nothing this fine lady could do would make any of these naysayers happy, and for anyone to bother even answering their comments gives what they said some value.

Each First Lady has been an asset to our country in their own way and we are very fortunate that we have had such a long line of good women in the WH.

Way to go First Lady Michelle Obama!

You are setting a wonderful example for the rest of America.
As Pres. Obama says quite often, "America and Americans have an obligation to do everything possible to take care of our veterans."

Yet why doesn't POTUS even know how to pronounce 'corpsman'?

The O's have no respect for our military.
