As a member of The Wings Club, the premier society of aviation professionals, I frequently have the opportunity to meet the top leaders in the global aviation industry.

At a recent Wings Club lunch, I connected with Jeffrey Immelt who is Chief Executive Officer of GE. I congratulated Jeff on the special recognition the Wings Club awarded his top-ranked Fortune 500 company for its innovations in jet engine technology, but I especially wished to thank him for his company’s support of Veterans Advantage.

Five years ago, GE served as our Presenting Sponsor for our inaugural launch of Veterans Week NYC and helped us produce our first full week of events to honor our nation’s veterans. I was proud to tell Jeff that this is now an annual New York gathering and has become one of our country’s largest and most significant events recognizing and thanking veterans for their service. We will be celebrating our 6th year on November 5th-12th.

In addition, I let Jeff know that we greatly appreciate GE’s engagement with our Veterans Advantage Jobs & Career Network, where his company posts open positions it seeks to fill with veterans. GE is one the most military-friendly employers in the world, with more than 10,000 veterans in its workforce. If you are a veteran looking to enhance your career with a position at GE, you can check out GE job posts in our Jobs and Career Network.

holiday travel guide 2025 Discounts & Benefits WeSalute Review: Your 2025 Holiday Travel Guide on How to Save More and Stress Less on Your Getaway The holiday season is officially in full swing. While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.
Scott Higgins Discounts & Benefits Connecting When It Matters Most: Your Two Weeks to Make Memories As the calendar flips closer to the end of the year, we enter what I always consider the most critical two weeks for connection. This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
