In the last two months, he’s been pictured doing a number of things outside of his professional duties.

On the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, Pence spoke at the World War II Memorial:

On Super Bowl Sunday, he was on Air Force Two with two disabled veterans as his guests to the big game:

Once again Pence was spotted this week, but this time he was doing something a lot more hands-on with his time.

Pence was in Missouri with Governor Eric Greitens, helping clean up a vandalized Jewish cemetery:

He focused on the job at hand.

VP Pence and Gov Greitens also pitch in for a few minutes to help clean up the desecrated cemetery.

And prayed with the volunteers.

“There is no place in America for hatred or acts of prejudice, or violence, or anti-Semitism. I must tell you the people of Missouri are inspiring the nation by your love and care for this place, the Jewish community in Missouri.

And I want to thank you for that inspiration, and showing the world what America is really about.”
The vandalism happened at a cemetery in University City near St. Louis.
