Thursday 24 November 2022 04:53 PM Joe and Jill bring Baby Beau with on Nantucket fire station visit trends now Joe and Jill Biden brought their two-year-old grandson Beau with them on Thursday when they visited a Nantucket firestation to hand out pumpkin pies and offer thanks for their service. The first couple held hands with the little boy as they walked up to greet the brigrade on their Thanksgiving Day visit. 'How are you guys?' Biden said. 'You're the best.' The firefighters gave Beau, who is named after Biden's late son Beau, a miniature fire hat. The little boy, wearing jeans and a blue puffer coat, promptly put the red hat on over his long blonde hair. He held onto the first lady, who the grandkids call 'Nana.' President Biden received a baseball cap with the logo of the Nantucket Fire Department, which he promptly put on.

The president also met with Nantucket Fire Department captain Nathan Barber, who was named Nantucket's man of the year. Barber this summer helped fight a massive fire at the historic Veranda House hotel, which took out that building and two nearby homes. At the time the fire started, he was off-duty and getting coffee nearby when he saw the smoke billowing from the Veranda House. He ran to the building and, when a guest said his son was trapped in the building, Barber ran inside to help find him and other guests trapped in the burning blaze. Barber was hospitalized for smoke inhalation and heat exhaustion after the fire. Most of the buildings on Nantucket are made of wood. They are also grouped closed together, making fire a major risk on the island. NMagazine, the local magazine, put Barber on its cover. Both Joe and Jill Biden signed the magazine for him. The president wrote something he has long said about firefighters: 'God made man, and then he made a few firefighters.' Jill Biden also had made a solo visit to the fire station in July, when she was on the island at a fundraiser for the Democratic Party. The Bidens are spending the Thanksgiving holiday on Nantucket. Beau is the son of Hunter Biden and his wife Melissa Cohen, who are on the trip but did not join the visit to the fire house.

Neilia and Naomi did not survive. When the president, along with wife Jill, called into the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on Thursday morning, he praised the work of first responders. 'I want to say thanks to the firefighters and police officers, first responders. They never take a break,' the president said. 'And God bless our troops for sure,' the first lady added. 'And by the way, we're going to be talking to some of our troops later in the day, both here and abroad. I hope everybody remembers. We remember them every single day. God bless our troops for real,' the president said. It was the second year in a row the Bidens called into the annual parade.
