WASHINGTON — President Bush will appear at Fort Bragg on Thursday to make remarks at a division review ceremony before troops there.No details are yet available from the White House on what Bush will talk about during his 10 a.m. speech. “The president looks forward to visiting Fort Bragg and thanking our soldiers and their families for their service and sacrifice in the war on terror,” White House spokeswoman Jeannie Mamo said this morning.Fort Bragg just received good news today, when its commander said the 82nd Airborne division’s 1st brigade would return from Iraq three months early.
The unit of 3,500 paratroopers doesn’t leave Iraq until July, though, so they won’t be there to hear Bush’s remarks next week.
