Former President Obama this week visited the families of wounded veterans staying with the Fisher House network in Bethesda, Md., hand-delivering cookies.

The organization, which describes itself as best known “for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment,” shared photos of the visit on Twitter on Friday.
