Interesting choice.
WASHINGTON— In a first for a first lady, Michelle Obama is sponsoring a future Coast Guard cutter.
(snip)
As sponsor, Mrs. Obama promises to be involved in the life of what the service is calling a "national security cutter."
The White House says Mrs. Obama's decision is an extension of her commitment to support servicemembers and their families. The Coast Guard says it's the first time a president's wife has signed on as a sponsor.
Stratton is named after Capt. Dorothy Stratton. She was director of the Guard's women's Reserve during World War II.
