Sergeant Henry Waller shared a touching account of his memorable dance with First Lady Melania Trump at the Commander-in-Chief Inaugural Ball. In an interview, he described his emotions during the brief yet warm exchange, recalling how they asked each other about their evenings. He also complimented her as a “really good dancer.”
The ball, held to honor the U.S. Armed Forces, featured Melania in a stunning white gown designed by Hervé Pierre. The dress, adorned with a geometric black trim, caught attention online, with some noting its resemblance to Donald Trump’s signature. This led to speculation on social media about its potential symbolism.
While her gown sparked conversation, the evening itself was celebrated as a moment of unity, tradition, and recognition for the military. For Sergeant Waller, it was an unforgettable experience, filled with pride and gratitude.
