--()--In an exclusive interview with Yahoo! Shine (http://shine.yahoo.com), the leading women’s lifestyle website with more than 30 million visitors per month, First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden discuss the importance of supporting military families and how the First Lady would feel is her daughters enlisted. As a military mom herself, Dr. Jill Biden also discusses ways we can support returning Veterans.

Yahoo! Shine’s senior editor Lylah Alphonse conducted the interview, which was focused on Veteran’s Day and the Joining Forces initiative to support military families. Yahoo! solicited questions for the interview from Yahoo! users and received nearly 5,000 responses.

Earlier this week, The First and Second Lady revealed their families’ secret holiday traditions including the Obamas’ grab bag full of funny presents and how Vice President Biden goes downstairs on Christmas Day first to ensure Santa has left presents. You can view that clip here & footage is available for download here. We also asked what they'd do differently as parents, and how they maintain their own identities and careers.
