President Bush will visit Fort Bragg on Thursday to make remarks at a division review ceremony before troops there.There are no details yet on what Bush will talk about, but expect to hear accolades for the troops rather than political talk about the war supplemental bill being wrangled through Congress right now.Fort Bragg received the news Friday, 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."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.
