united states and australia formalized our security alliance in 1951. decades later on september 10, 2001, right here at the white house, our nation celebrated the 50th anniversary of that treaty. the next morning, september 11, america was attacked and australia invoked the treaty's commitment for the first time ever. in the weeks that followed, as our beloved sons and daughters deployed to defend our freedom, we took comfort in knowing that they would have australian warriors right by our side. today on national prisoner of war national recognition day, we pledge to forever honor our service members captured or still missing from battle throughout our history. we work and pray for the day when all of our heroes return home. on behalf of every american, i extend my profound thanks to the people of australia for sacrificing with us in our shared fights against the menace of fascism, communism and radical islamic terrorism. in the past century, the friendship between our nations has not only withstood the test of time and war here on earth, but led our nations into the stars. this year the united states commemorated the 50th anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing. today we give thanks to the nation of australia for its
