PenFed Partners to Entertain 2,300 Military Family Members

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2016 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- PenFed Credit Union proudly joined the USO in supporting last night's free concert at the Kennedy Center—the National Symphony Orchestra Salutes the Military—in honor of all U.S. military service members and their families.

The NSO Pops presented a free performance, entitled Home for the Holidays, for 2,300 military service members and their family members in the Kennedy Center's main Concert Hall.

Last night's concert was the first in a series of NSO events sponsored by PenFed in honor of the U.S. military.

PenFed President and CEO James Schenck and Chairman of the Board Ed Cody, both military veterans, emphasized the importance of supporting our nation's defenders and their families.

"This time of year, millions of Americans enjoy spending time with loved ones. However, military deployment cycles have no regard for holidays, birthdays or any other times that families hold dearly," said Schenck. "Military families are special people who willingly go without the comforts that many of us too often take for granted. At PenFed we are humbled to have the opportunity to partner with the National Symphony Orchestra to show our appreciation for the services and sacrifices of the men and women who fight and win our nation's wars."

"It truly is a pleasure to be able to bring so many service members, veterans and their families together at these special concerts," said Cody. "While we honor those in attendance, our thoughts and prayers are also with those currently serving around the globe—many in harm's way—and their loved ones who bravely endure long and frequent separations so that we remain free."
