Sergeant Henry Waller, who danced with First Lady Melania Trump at the Commander-in-Chief Inaugural Ball, described the moment as an honor. During their brief exchange, Melania said her night was going well, and Waller called his experience “fantastic.” He also praised her dancing skills, noting he only practiced with his wife beforehand.
Melania’s gown, a white strapless dress with geometric black trim, drew attention online for resembling Donald Trump’s signature. This sparked debates on social media, with some speculating it was intentional. The event itself was a celebration of U.S. Armed Forces personnel, with the ball symbolizing unity and patriotism.For Sergeant Waller, it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that highlighted the connection between military service members and the nation’s leaders.
