   U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, spent a portion of
   the  Christmas holidays visiting troops and their families at a Hawaii
   Marine base.
   The  Obamas  visited  the  same  military  base last year during their
   holiday vacation in the president's home state.
   Mr.  Obama  and  the  first lady are encouraging the public to support
   military  communities,  especially during the holidays when separation
   from family can be difficult.
   Mrs.  Obama  says  a  "care  package"  or  a  simple "thank you" is an
   important gift to members of the military.
