The picnic took place at One Observatory Circle, the vice president's residence — probably the most heavily guarded home in America after the White House.

A Crowd of Heroes
The idea for the cookout came about after the Bidens visited a group of veterans at Walter Reed Army Medical Center—and casually mentioned hosting a party at their place. Not only did they come through with the invitation, they did the troops one better and asked Food Network star Sunny Anderson, an Air Force veteran, to help plan the meal.

Just Like Family
The party felt like a big family cookout: Guests had hours
to talk to Sunny, the vice president and Dr. Biden. Army Captain Dan Berschinski (above, with Sunny and his girlfriend, Rebecca) was wounded in Afghanistan and met the Bidens at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
