Booz Allen provides support to veterans and wounded warriors through forum groups, training, and tools. With 1,500 Armed Services Forum members, Booz Allen believes it is an important resource for insights into easing the transition from the battlefield to a business environment.

In addition to helping workplace warriors, Booz Allen is paying tribute to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces as a corporate sponsor for the third annual concert series – America’s Veterans: A Musical Tribute – in partnership with Strathmore Hall Arts Center, the US Air Force Band, and Maryland Public Television. The concert is designed to elevate the Veterans Day holiday experience for the national audience and promote better understanding by the public of the roles of our men and women in uniform. It stars actor Lou Gossett, Jr. as Master of Ceremonies and features the United States Air Force Symphony Orchestra and the Singing Sergeants, along with guest artists Michael Feinstein, Ronan Tynan, and Shemekia Copeland. Viewers are expected to tune in from more than 80% of the public television station markets nationwide.
