MarketScout’s Heroes! celebration has received tremendous support from leaders in the insurance and business community. On Sept. 11, 2004, MarketScout is honoring soldiers who have served on active duty in Iraq or Afghanistan. The event is not political and is intended to simply thank those who have risked their lives to protect our freedom.
The soldiers will be honored with a cocktail reception, dinner and dance on Sept. 11 followed by lunch and a Texas Rangers ballgame on Sept. 12. MarketScout is underwriting the entire event, however, according to Richard Kerr, founder of MarketScout, “Leaders in the insurance industry have wholeheartedly supported this event with financial contributions. This has enabled us to accommodate many additional soldiers and their spouses.”
To date, AIG has taken an active role as a Platinum sponsor. Other participating insurers include Old American, ACE, Zurich, and XL. Support has also been pledged by Lockton, Marsh, McQueary Henry, Palmer and Cay, McGriff, Agnew Higgins and others. Businesses supporting Heroes outside of the insurance industry include The Westin Park Central, The Texas Rangers, Johnny Carino’s, and many others.
Roger Staubach, NFL Hall of Fame member and former Dallas Cowboys quarterback will be welcoming our U.S. Heroes. Major General J.D. Thurman, the commander who currently leads the 4th Infantry division that captured Sadaam Hussein, will be the keynote speaker.
Kerr hopes Heroes! is the beginning of annual celebrations honoring America’s soldiers in major cities across the United States. MarketScout has the platform for holding such an event and will support any company planning a celebration honoring our U.S. soldiers.
