FORT BRAGG — President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are marking the end of the Iraq war with a tribute to the troops who fought and died.
The First Couple will be at Fort Bragg around noon Wednesday to address service members and their families as the president brings the war to a close.

All U.S. troops are to be out of Iraq Dec. 31, though Obama has pledged the U.S. will continue to help Iraq as it faces an uncertain future in a volatile region of the world. Even as majorities in the U.S. public favor ending the war, some Republicans have criticized Obama’s withdrawal, arguing he’s leaving behind an unstable Iraq that could hurt U.S. interests and fall subject to influence from neighboring Iran.
