The President and First Lady send their best wishes to everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year (Year of the Dragon).
Obama’s Message:
“Michelle and I want to send our best wishes to everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year, including Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. You know growing up in Hawaii, I remember all the excitement surrounding the Lunar New Year. From the parades to the fireworks, to the smaller gatherings with family and friends, it’s always been a time of celebration and for hope.
And this year as Americans here at home and around the world welcome the Year of the Dragon. It’s important to remember that our country is stronger because of our diversity. We’re richer because of the different countries that make up this country.
So to all those celebrating the Lunar New Year, I wish all your loved ones peace, prosperity, and good health.”
