🚀 Exciting news from the 146th NGAUS General Conference & Exhibition! Yesterday, former President Donald J. Trump delivered a compelling address as the guest speaker, where he proposed the creation of a Space National Guard. His message highlighted the critical need to expand the National Guard's role to include space operations, emphasizing that this initiative is vital for enhancing national security and ensuring the United States remains a leader in space defense. The discussions sparked by his proposal were both insightful and inspiring, and I look forward to seeing how this vision unfolds within the National Guard community. It’s a pivotal moment for our national defense strategy! 🌌🇺🇸 National Guard Bureau | Vermont Army National Guard | Vermont Air National Guard | National Guard Association of Vermont | United States Department of Defense | United States Space Force | NGAUS Social Media #NGAUS2024 #SpaceNationalGuard #NationalSecurity #leadership #NGAVT
