ARMY TIMES

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A retired Green Beret general plans to campaign in North Carolina for Democratic president candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

Obama’s campaign announced that retired Maj. Gen. Geoffrey Lambert would campaign Tuesday in Charlotte and Fayetteville for the Illinois senator.

Lambert was the commander of the Army’s Special Forces in the early days of deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq, taking over four days before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Lambert is scheduled to campaign in Charlotte at 10 a.m. at Obama’s local headquarters and at 3 p.m. in Fayetteville at a Veterans of Foreign Wars post.
