Mrs. Obama to Host Community Event with Military Families in Jacksonville

Chicago, IL – The Obama-Biden campaign announced today that Michelle Obama will return to the Tar Heel state on Tuesday to host a community event with military families. Mrs. Obama will address the unique challenges these families face while having a loved one deployed overseas and juggling everyday work and family responsibilities amidst an economic crisis. She will also share the Obama-Biden plan to support our troops and veterans, and provide economic security for North Carolina families.

Mrs. Obama began her series of conversations with military families in North Carolina in May, when she hosted her first roundtable discussion with military wives from Fort Bragg. Since then, Mrs. Obama has met with military families in Kentucky, Virginia, New Mexico and Pennsylvania.

Last month, Mrs. Obama hosted an economic roundtable with working women in Charlotte, and a Women for Obama rally in Greensboro. Please see details below.
