FORT BRAGG, N.C.— Michelle Obama is meeting with soldiers and their families at a North Carolina Army base as she ventures from Washington to begin defining her role as first lady. The wife of President Barack Obama met with military members and their families Thursday at North Carolina’s sprawling Fort Bragg. She hugged soldiers and posed for photos in a dining facility but kept more substantive discussions behind closed doors in private meetings. Obama has cited military families as one of the issues she wants to focus on as first lady. Later, she was scheduled to meet with community support groups in nearby Fayetteville. ______ In photo: In photo: First lady Michelle Obama speaks to soldiers and family members during a visit to the Iron Mike Dining Facility at Fort Bragg, N.C., Thursday, March 12, 2009.
