According to This Ain’t Hell:

According to TSO who was at the “Salute to Heroes Inaugural Ball”, this newly sworn-in President for the first time in 56 years blew off the ball (that’s 14 Inaugurations).

Some background on the ball:

The American Legion sponsors the ball, which recognizes recipients of Medal of Honor, the nation’s highest military award. It started in 1953 for President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s first inauguration.

Event co-sponsors include 13 other veterans service organizations, among them the Military Order of the Purple Heart and the Paralyzed Veterans of America.

Stay classy, Mr. President. You missed honoring these Medal of Honor Recipients… you could have bypassed one of the other celebrations, but I guess not. By the way, here is a list of the events the Obamas did attend.
