FORT BRAGG, N.C. — First lady Michelle Obama is visiting Fort Bragg, meeting with military spouses and speaking to groups that support soldiers and their families.

The White House says Obama will tour Fort Bragg on Thursday afternoon. Obama has said that she wants to focus on working with military families during her time as first lady, and she often spoke on the issue during the presidential campaign last year.

Obama will meet with military spouses and learn about the family support services available to them. She will then speak to community organizations in Fayetteville that provide support.
