Just home from Afghanistan, Army Spc. Jason Forster and Sgt. Anthony Jacobs are looking forward to a traditional Fourth of July — hanging out with co-workers and the boss, watching some fireworks and eating barbecue.

The boss, also known as President Barack Obama, has invited 25 Fort Campbell, Kentucky, soldiers and their families to join the commander in chief on Saturday for the White House Salute to the Military.

President Obama and the rest of the first family will be hosting two soldiers from Ft. Campbell, Kentucky along with 1,200 other military families today for a Fourth of July barbecue on the South Lawn.

Army Spc. Jason Forster and Sgt. Anthony Jacobs will be hanging out with the boss and some co-workers chowing down on BBQ and watching fireworks.

“Its a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get invited to the White House and eat dinner with him,”

Jacobs said.
