For example, some of the guests to be seated in the first lady's box include Alan Gross, the ex-Cuban prisoner who was released the same day Obama announced new diplomatic policies with Cuba; Scott Kelly, the NASA astronaut who will spend a year aboard the International Space Station; and Dr. Pranav Shett, the global emergency health coordinator for International Medical Corps, who helped oversee Ebola treatment in Liberia.
