FORT BRAGG, N.C. — First lady Michelle Obama, venturing away from Washington to define her White House role, called on the American people Thursday to embrace the military families in their communities.
In her first major advocacy mission, the wife of President Barack Obama spent the afternoon visiting with soldiers and their families at North Carolina’s sprawling Fort Bragg. She then told a crowd of community leaders in nearby Fayetteville that Americans need to reach out to members of the military.
“Our soldiers and their families have done their duty — and they do it without complaint,” the first lady said. “And we as a grateful nation must do ours — do everything in our power to honor them by supporting them.”
