The Boeing Company
National Memorial Day Pre-Concert Reception

The Boeing Company, a lead sponsor of the National Memorial Day Concert, engaged H&A to provide strategic public relations and event planning for an exclusive Pre-Concert Reception held at the National Museum of the American Indian. H&A’s ability to develop highly specialized guest lists and secure attendance from ranking members of Congress, key Congressional staff, senior military leaders and individuals important to The Boeing Company and the National Memorial Day Concert was essential to the success of this one and a half hour reception on a busy holiday weekend.

H&A secured the venue, which offered a sweeping view of the Capitol grounds as well as close proximity to the concert. Boeing Senior VP Tod Hullin welcomed guests including Congressman John P. Murtha; General George Casey, Jr., US Army Chief of Staff; General Robert Magnus, US Marine Corps Asst. Commandant; General Duncan McNabb, Commander, Air Mobility Command, and three US Medal of Honor Recipients, Robert Howard, John Baker, and Roger Donlon.

The event served to demonstrate the support of the world’s leading aerospace company and largest manufacturer of commercial and military aircraft for America’s defense effort and the sacrifices made by men and women who serve in defense of our nation.
