The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority just announced that Fortune Magazine has released its annual list of the 500 companies in the country with the largest revenue.  A total of  eight (up from seven in 2009) Fairfax County-based companies grace the list. Tysons Corner-based mortgage behemoth Freddie Mac comes in at 54, and defense-industry giant Merrifield-based General Dynamics is 69. Other Fairfax County firms on the list are Merrifield-based CSC (138), Tysons Corner-based Capital One Financial (144), Tysons Corner-based Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) (215), Reston-based NII Holdings (468), Reston-based SLM (Sallie Mae) (354), and Tysons Corner-based Gannett (370). Fortunately, you can get the rest of the story from the Washington Business Journal’s Jeff Clabaugh.

Military Appreciation Mondays
Supports
Our Military Kids

April is national Month of the Military Child.

I hope you can come out for this month’s Military Appreciation Mondays event at the Old Brogue which will be in recognition of the contributions made by the children of our Servicemen and Women.  I am particularly proud to be bringing back the truly special program – Our Military Kids. These dedicated folks provide support to children of deployed National Guard and Reserve personnel as well as to children of injured service members through grants for enrichment activities and tutoring.  Such activities help these children cope with the stress of having a parent in a war zone or recovering from injury at home.  OMK grants are made to honor the sacrifices that military families make and to ensure that their children have access to sports, fine arts, or academic tutoring programs.
To show your support, simply come out and have dinner at the Old Brogue in Great Falls.  Myself and my cosponsors will each be contributing a 10 percent match (typically a total of an 80 percent match) of your dinner tab to Our Military Kids.

You can also show your support through:
A. The purchase of door prize entries. (ALL Proceeds go directly to Our Military Kids.)
B.  Our buy a vet dinner initiative.  A minimum donation of $25 to OMK entitles you to purchase dinner for one of our vets.
C.  Or you can make out a fully tax deductible donation to Our Military Kids.

We Would Love to Break 150 Attendees

I am proud to say that last month’s event in support of the Lift Me Up! therapeutic horseback riding program for our injured vets had approximately 125 people in attendance and raised approximately $4,500. This was our best total to date.  I would like to particularly thank Col. Pete Hilgartner (USMC Ret.) for helping out with a book signing at the last two events.  Let me know if you would like to purchase a copy of Colonel Hilgartner’s book “High Pockets War Stories”.  A $10 donation will be made to OMK with each sale.

Please be certain to support my co-sponsors whenever you have a chance.
