Story Behind The Song

CHICAGO, Nov. 6, 2012 - As part of its ongoing efforts to honor and support military personnel and veterans, Boeing [NYSE: BA], in partnership with the Chicago Bears Football Club, the USO of Illinois and the Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, has launched "Home & Away," an initiative that extends the Boeing-Bears "Salute to the Military" in-game recognition that occurs at all Chicago Bears home games. The musical score was composed by jazz musician and Emmy Award-winning composer, Orbert Davis, performed by Chicago Jazz Philharmonic, and was commissioned by Boeing specifically for this purpose. The Home & Away musical suite consists of three pieces: "The Star Spangled Banner", specially arranged for this recording, "Our Salute" and "The Face of the Enemy is Always Changing." The music will be available for download on iTunes and at www.chijazzphil.org/homeandaway. It will also be made available through the Boeing Store. Proceeds from every purchase will go to support America's troops and their families through the USO of Illinois.
