Hey, my brother is in the Air Force (flies F16s for VANG) and my niece's name is Lilly. I would have thought it might be her, but this Lily only uses one "l".

What a bright and engaged little girl. Sad that at 8 years old she is bearing the burden of "polotics." The world can be, and is often, a scary place. Love the reassurance President Obama's letter imparts to her, and its encouragement for a bright future.
