White House celebrates new members of NATO

March 29, at 3:30 pm, the White House celebrated the admission of Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia, and Slovenia as members of NATO. President George Bush addressed the prime ministers of the new NATO members and their delegations, members of Congress and of the Bush Administration, the press, members of the Lithuanian American community, and other guests.

The event took place on the South Lawn of the White House.

Lithuania's membership in NATO was a priority for the Lithuanian American Community for many years. Our members gave generously of their time, energy, and funds to persuade NATO countries to accept the country of our heritage under the NATO security umbrella.

Below are some fond mementos of the work involved with securing U.S. ratification of NATO expansion and Lithuania's accession to NATO.
