General James L. Jones has spent his life serving and protecting America and American ideals. He is sought after for his wisdom, guidance, and political endorsement.  As the former commander of U.S. European Command and Supreme Allied Commander Europe, he led all military operations for the North Atlantic   Treaty  Organization and  later, as National Security Advisor, he brought clear vision and steady leadership to America’s mission in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, and the country’s interests around the world.

Upon retirement in February 2007, the combat veteran became the president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy and, in 2008, served as the State Department’s Special Envoy for Middle East Regional Security. From 2009 until 2010, he served as President Obama’s National Security Advisor at the White House.

Upon Jones’ retirement President Obama said, “Jim has always been a steady voice in Situation Room sessions, daily briefings and with meetings with foreign leaders…the American people owe the general a debt for making the nation safer.”
