It is consistently ranked as one of the top colleges in the United States, and it should be for training the next generation of leaders for our military. I will just give you one example. The U.S. Naval Academy is prepared to deal with the challenges of AI and cyber security. It has new facilities there and is training experts to help defend our national security in that regard. I also want to acknowledge on behalf of the Board of Visitors Admiral Buck, the current superintendent, who is retiring. He has done an incredible service to our Nation as the superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy and now has completed 40 years of service to this country.

Admiral Davids is a career professional military officer who has sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution and our country.…
