Obama to visit Ramstein, Landstuhl next week

[lebkuchen]

President Barack Obama will visit Landstuhl Regional Medical Center on June 5, the White House confirmed Thursday.

The visit — Obama’s first to a hospital with recovering Iraq and Afghanistan combat wounded since becoming president — follows last July’s campaign controversy when the then-Democratic presidential contender canceled a trip to visit wounded troops at the hospital.

From Landstuhl, Obama is scheduled to go to Normandy, France, for the 65th anniversary of D-Day on June 6.

This would be a good time for all you letter writers to send your views in to Stars & Stripes, asap. Obama will surely be reading the paper while in Europe.

2. i think its vitally important for the commander

in chief to be aware of the "total cost" of wars -- i commend him for visiting and i hope the experience will help in the future when tough decisions need to be made.
