NORAD has been defending out borders for over 50 years now. The old adage of ‘Sleep well tonight – your airforce is awake’ best describes NORAD’s role throughout the Cold War and today. The men and women of both the United States and Canada who as part of NORAD protected our skies throughout that long war, deserve a hearty thank you and congratulations for a job well done.
Of course, it isn’t over yet. A new generation stands guard today and yes, we can sleep well knowing that dedicated people are awake, standing guard over the continent. To those who stood their watch and are retired now, thank you. To those who today continue that duty, we support you and appreciate what you do.
With the Berlin Wall gone and an uneasy peace over the world, their job is still as important as ever. Since 911, they stand at a heightened sense of security and although we sometimes pay them too little heed, we know they are there so we can sleep in peace.

Thank you.
