I was recently able to tour the White House with my family, and the Secret Service agents were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. They take their job of securing the White House very seriously, but will take all the time in the world to talk to you about the rooms they are stationed in. We had particularly great conversations with the agents stationed in the East Room, Green Room and the gorgeous State Dining Room. While talking with the agent in the Green Room, I asked if they were served green beer and corned beef there on St. Patrick's Day.
Sadly, they are not. I assured the agent that I would do everything in my power to change that.
Since there is no Secret Service Appreciation Day, I propose that they should be appreciated on St. Patrick's Day this year, and every year!
