WASHINGTON ? President Barack Obama marked the Fourth of July by thanking service members and their families, who he said ?represent what is best in America.?

The president, accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama, hosted a barbecue and concert Wednesday for the families on the White House South Lawn.

He said the nation ?will always be there for you, just as you?ve been there for us.? He said it was his promise, and America?s promise.
