The fact that in 2024, 75 years after it was founded, the alliance is bigger, stronger, and more united speaks to the alliances adaptability. It speaks to natos resilience. But it also speaks to the commitment and the courage of millions of soldiers, sailors, aviators and operate together under the nato umbrella. But i think it also speaks to the attractiveness of natos core values, democracy, individual liberty, and the rule of law. Now,
