 This year marks the first time in history that NATO has participated in an American football game. NATO's historic participation in this game is representative of the shared values we collectively defend democracy, freedom, commitment to fair play, and the international rules that promote peace and prevent war. To me, it's more than just a game. It's about partnerships, that unity, strength, and everything it means to be a NATO ally. Today we've had 31 nations standing shoulder to shoulder, one team, one fight, hashtag, we are NATO. U.S. commitment to the NATO alliance and our European partners remains ironclad. Overall, the alliance embodies a transatlantic bond that links the security of Europe and North America. My name is Staff Sergeant Catherine Boulcar and I'm from the U.S. Seraph Bannon Forest. It's an absolute honor to present the anthem alongside our partners and allies here in Frankfurt.
