Students on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean are renewing the history, beliefs and great friendship of the NATO members on their 70th anniversary. An alliance can only be as strong as it's members and NATO has the strongest countries in the world forever bonded in purpose.
I thank NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg for his incredible visit to the USA and making a speech to a joint session of the USA Congress.

Tbilisi -- During a visit to Georgia, (click here) NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has again said that the South Caucasus country will eventually join the Western military alliance, despite the Kremlin's fierce opposition.
Stoltenberg was in Tbilisi on March 25 to hold meetings with Georgian officials and attend joint NATO-Georgia military exercises.
Speaking alongside Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze, he said that the 29 NATO member states had "clearly stated that Georgia will become a member of NATO."
"We will continue working together to prepare for Georgia's NATO membership," Stoltenberg said, adding that no country has the right to influence NATO's open-door policy.
"We are not accepting that Russia or any other power can decide what members can do," he said.
Bakhtadze said that "NATO membership is the choice of the Georgian people."
At a 2008 summit in Bucharest, NATO agreed that Georgia will eventually become a member, but no firm date has been set, although the membership perspective for the country has been reconfirmed at every summit ever since....
