Bethesda’s Lockheed Martin returns as lead sponsor of 2024 National Memorial Day Concert
Capital Concerts Wednesday announced Bethesda-based global security and aerospace company Lockheed Martin was named lead corporate sponsor of the 35th annual edition of the National Memorial Day Concert televised by the Public Broadcasting System.
The broadcast is scheduled for May 26, 2024 from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET from the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. It will also be streaming on www.pbs.org/national-memorial-day-concert and YouTube and available as video on demand from May 26 to June 9, 2024.
Lockheed Martin’s commitment to the military and veteran community begins with the veterans, National Guard and reservists and military spouses that comprise about one-fifth of its 116,000 employees. The company’s Handshake 2 Hire career support program helps transitioning and recently separated veterans with resources to successfully enter the civilian workforce.
In 2022, Lockheed Martin contributed more than $9.6 million to ensure service members, veterans and their families are prepared, well-supported and enabled to fully participate and thrive in society. It also worked with 733 veteran-owned small businesses and awarded $759.3 million in subcontracts.
