The three-day trip to Washington, D.C., will include a visit to all major monuments honoring U.S. veterans, as well as a reception at the Anheuser-Busch office with Members of Congress and Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth. A-B donated $50,000 to Honor Flight San Antonio.
“Anheuser-Busch’s partnership with the Honor Flight San Antonio is part of our commitment to serving those who serve. It is one small way we at A-B can demonstrate our deep gratitude and support for those who have bravely served our country,” said Brendan Whitworth, CEO of Anheuser-Busch. “As a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, it’s an honor to share this special moment with these heroic veterans and to continue Anheuser-Busch’s rich history of supporting our nation’s service members.
Anheuser-Busch has a long history as a support and an employer of active-duty service members, military families, and veterans. Thousands of Anheuser-Busch employees have served in uniform, and the brewer has proudly supported the nation’s military by partnering with several national and regional veteran’s charities. Since 2011, Anheuser-Busch has raised approximately $20 million in scholarships for the Folds of Honor Foundation.
