Michelle Obama to address West Point graduates

First lady Michelle Obama is addressing West Point cadets on the eve of their graduation.
 
Obama is making her first visit to the U.S. Military Academy to speak Friday night at a banquet for the class of 2011. She will address more than 1,000 graduates and their families at the academy’s castle-like mess hall. 
 
The White House says Obama’s visit to West Point and another on June 3 to Quantico Middle High School on the Marine Corps Base in Virginia underscores her commitment to the military.

Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will be the graduation speaker at West Point’s commencement Saturday morning.
