President Bush will visit the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, on Thursday to speak about the global war on terror, the museum announced.
The president will address an invitation-only audience of about 1,200 people that will include the base’s military and civilian leadership, service members, Ohio politicians and community leaders, said museum spokesman Rob Bardua.
The museum will be closed to the general public for the day, Bardua said.
The base had issued a standing invitation to the president, Bardua said, but the White House just recently accepted.
The visit comes just days after the U.S. military death toll in the Iraq war reached 4,000, but it is unclear if the president’s speech is related to that grim milestone.
