Location: The Heritage Foundation's Allison Auditorium

As part of The Heritage Foundation’s Protect American Month – running from Memorial Day through the Independence Day holiday – this panel will build upon a series of critical national security speeches given in recent weeks by Governor Mitt Romney and Air Force Chief of Staff General Norton Schwartz.  At a time when the risks America faces are as varied, complex, and intense as they are today, our four distinguished panelists will analyze the present geopolitical environment while also taking a longer view of American leadership and military primacy in the decades ahead.  Please join us for this important discussion to be held in the third week of our Protect America Month: Providing for the Common Defense in the 21^st Century series.
