Safeguarding our Nations Future

Registration opens December 11

Safeguarding our Nations Future

This discussion will cover the significant threats facing our nation and highlight why it is crucial to understand the nature of these threats and their potential impact on our security and stability. External threats from countries such as China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea pose a serious challenge to our national security, with aggressive behavior in military, cyber, and economic realms necessitating a comprehensive strategy including diplomatic efforts, economic sanctions, and military deterrence. Additionally, terrorist groups, both domestic and international, utilize propaganda, recruitment, and cyber tactics to threaten critical infrastructure and government institutions, requiring enhanced cybersecurity measures and international collaboration. Internal threats such as the national debt and political polarization further undermine our security, with fiscal responsibility, budget reforms, and bipartisan solutions essential to safeguarding our nation's future.  The General will offer some thoughts on how we should collectively move forward.
