We’re proud that 15% of our U.S. employees are veterans. At Boeing, we honor service members and their families every day of the year by supporting hundreds of organizations that serve them and help them with the transition from military to civilian life.

Together with our veteran employee resource group we offer Military Connected, an ongoing resource that connects veterans and their families with programs Boeing sponsors as well as external programs — all through the lens of what may be helpful throughout a veteran’s career at Boeing.
