community should dare to dream today of 
the future we might help build in       
,europe's borderlands1 in ,central      
,asia1 and throughout the ,broader      
,middle ,east4 ,as partners in a shared 
and historic endeavor that has already  

transformed the lives of millions1 we   
should discount neither the power of our
 ideals nor the capacity of our         
democracies4 ,in turning back the forces
 of tyranny and terror1 and in helping  
to secure the blessings of liberty      
everywhere1 we will embark on a project 
worthy of this grand alliance4 ,and in

prevailed before--together402 ,whereas

statement on ,march #bc1 #bjag1 8,the   
price our ,,nato allies paid in blood   
fighting alongside us should never be   
diminished4 ,and we must never forget   
that ,america is safer and more secure  
because it has allies that are willing  
to step up and share the burden of      
collective security402 ,whereas ,senator
 ,mc,cain stated on ,july #aj1 #bjah1   
8,as we face the most complex and       
dangerous security environment since the
 end of the ,cold ,war1 we must not     

forget that ,america is safer and more  
secure because we work with and through 
our allies4 ,throughout the past seven  
decades1 the ,united ,states and its    
,,nato allies have served together1     
fought together1 and sacrificed together

freedom1 democracy1 human rights and    
rule of law4 ,our enduring alliance     
stands as an important safeguard in

rename its headquarters after ,senator  
,mc,cain1 saying that 8few argued more  
passionately for a shared commitment to 
each other's security or understood     
better that we are all part of one great

8carefully consider0 renaming its       

headquarters building after ,senator

headquarters after ,senator ,mc,cain1   
writing that 8few things symbolise this 
alliance1 and the enduring benefits of  
,american global leadership1 more       
vividly than the life and work of ,john 
,mc,cain0 and that 8whether advancing   
the cause of freedom across the former  
,soviet states of eastern ,europe or    
defending the multilateral international
 order at a time of skepticism1 his work
 was a beacon for all of us who believe 

that transatlantic unity is the only    
means for ensuring peace02 ,whereas     
current ,,nato ,secretary ,general ,jans
 ,stoltenberg wrote that ,senator       
,mc,cain will be remembered both in

courage and character1 and as a strong  
supporter of ,,nato2 and ,whereas       
renaming ,,nato headquarters after      
,senator ,mc,cain would need the        
unanimous approval of all #bi members of
 ,,nato3 ,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that
