Over the last 8 days (4/3/25) personnel from the US and many other NATO allies, especially Poland, Estonia, and Lithuania worked around the clock to locate and recover 4 American soldiers who died during a training exercise in Lithuania. As Washington rattles about the relevance of NATO and critically damages the US relationship with all of our European allies, we must not forget the sheer camaraderie, care, and bravery that all serving under NATO have for each other. The streets of Villnius were filled today, not with cars, but with people lining the route of 4 hearses that carried the remains of 4 fallen American soldiers as the small Baltic nation bid one of the greatest thank-yous and farewells I have ever witnessed for American enlisted men on international soil. The sight of American and Lithuanian flags were everywhere. Even Major General Curtis Taylor of the US was amazed at the love and response of the Lithuanian people. More people today live in free countries, with free and fair elections, freedoms of speech, religion and press than at any time in the history of the world. That is in no small part, because of the US and the example and military we have to protect those with less than we have. We also have the greatest economy the world has ever known for the same reasons. We must not abandon or shrink from our responsibilities to be that example and assist those who have freedom or yearn for it around the globe. Please take a minute to express your gratitude to our Congressman and Women and encourage them to live up to the example that has created this blanket of freedom and to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for it.
