In a ceremony organized at the Prime Minister, the head of the government, Edi Rama, presented the medal “Big Star of Public Gratitude” to the Commander of NATO Operational Command, General, Tod Daniel Wolters.
“We have gathered with great pleasure to honor a man who can not be understood by my speech writers and who find it difficult to express gratitude and respect. It is not the first time that in this building we gather to honor someone.
And where we offer the deepest expression of gratitude, but it is the first time that the person we honor is a general.
The general was very polite, telling me that he has received every star and medal, so adding another emblem to his uniform is an extraordinary privilege. It’s the moment to celebrate the most precious friendship and alliance with the US.
I’m sure that sometimes if some of them are not familiar with our history, we may look stupid, but no, we are all but not stupid. We are here in this part of history, so strongly connected to this ally, thanks to another part of history that broke off this relationship that this year marked its 100th anniversary.
We started where we left off in 1991 and a new cornerstone has already been laid where we can celebrate the most fruitful relationship between the US and Albania. Sometimes it seems more challenging than we can handle but it is very uplifting for us.
I dare not ask any ambassador what they learn from Albania, but we learn a lot from strong partners. FAs are the best expression of our journey to learn.
If we have been able to understand slowly but surely that we have had the potential to show this again it is first of all a result of the encouragement and solidarity we have been able to perceive from friends and allies. In this report much relates to the people, personalities, those who are the human expression of this relationship.
Let me tell you why them, General Walters has a special place, I’m not saying this because of the circumstances. It was us who wanted this we were not asked. Sometimes we want something, and we want to congratulate General Walter.
The general, not only has been supportive but also inclined to show in deeds and not in words that he has cherished this relationship. Supported the transformation of the Kucova base into a NATO base.
It was the general who supported Albania to have the headquarters of the Armed Forces in Europe but you can find your country. “Said Rama.
