President Barack Obama traveled yesterday to Joplin, Missouri, where he inspected the damage, comforted the grieving and honored the first responders who aided the victims of a deadly tornado that left a path of destruction across the city a week ago.
“I can promise you, your country will be there with you every step of the way,” the president told area residents at a memorial service on the campus of Missouri Southern State University. “We will be with you every step of the way until Joplin is restored and this community is back on its feet. We’re not going anywhere.”
