This photograph of President Joseph R. Biden’s grandson was taken by Matthew D’Agostino during the 2022 turkey pardon ceremony on November 21, 2022 on the South Lawn of the White House. Beau Biden, Jr. is pictured observing the ceremony from the Truman Balcony. During the ceremony, President Biden formally “pardoned” the official National Thanksgiving Turkey, Chocolate, and the alternate, Chip. Chocolate and Chip were raised by National Turkey Federation (NTF) chairman Ronnie Parker at Circle S Ranch near Monroe, North Carolina. After the ceremony, the turkeys were transferred to the Talley Turkey Education Unit at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Presidents and their families have received turkeys for the holidays since the 1870s. The origin of the turkey pardon, however, dates to 1863—when President Abraham Lincoln offered clemency to a turkey purchased for Christmas dinner at his son's request. The pardoning of a Thanksgiving turkey became a formalized tradition during the George H. W. Bush administration.

In this photograph, President Lyndon B. Johnson and First Lady Lady Bird Johnson share a tender moment on the second floor balcony of the South Portico. The balcony is commonly known as the "Truman Balcony," as it was added during the White House renovations overseen by President Harry S. Truman from 1948 to 1952. In this photograph, the Washington Monument appears prominently in the background. This photograph is part of a collection belonging to former White House Executive Chef Henry Haller. Haller served as executive chef at the White House from 1966-1987, catering to five first families and their distinguished guests.
