Recognizes the men and women who have served to safeguard the freedom and security of the United States and the transatlantic alliance.

Encourages alliance members at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Warsaw Summit to promote unity and ensure a robust security posture in the face of the complex and changing security environment confronting NATO.

Reaffirms the Senate's commitment to NATO's collective security.

Welcomes the progress of NATO's ballistic missile defense mission and the achievement of recent U.S. milestones in this area through the partnership of allies, including Romania and Poland.

Recognizes:

  • Georgia's troop contributions to missions abroad and its ongoing efforts to strengthen its democratic and military institutions for NATO accession; and
  • the ongoing work of NATO's Resolute Support Mission in Afghanistan and the significant commitment NATO allies and coalition partners have dedicated to Afghanistan since 2001, including the 1,134 troops who have lost their lives.
