Obama will visit wounded GIs in Germany

President Obama will visit wounded GIs and their families at Landstuhl Regional Medical Facility in Germany next week, the White House announced.

The stop could be a makeup for Obama’s decision last year as a candidate not to visit Landstuhl when he went to Germany as a candidate.

The stop on June 5 will come during an already scheduled trip next week to Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Germany and France.

Landstuhl, the White House notes, “supports our service men and women stationed in Europe, and serves a leading and vital role in the care and recovery of personnel medically evacuated from Afghanistan, Iraq, and other forward-deployed posts within the U.S. European Command, Central Command and Africa Command areas of responsibility.”
