President Obama will be in New York on Thursday. He'll be visiting upstate New York's most famous military base, Fort Drum. The President says tomorrow he will announce plans to start removing troops from Afghanistan. Then on Thursday, he'll travel to Fort Drum to meet with troops. The base is home to the 10th Mountain Division, one of the most frequently deployed divisions to Afghanistan and Iraq. Based on the President's original plan, troops are supposed to start coming home in July.
