		Melnick is a great astronaut and has been in space twice.
		Bruce Melnick advised the way Boeing gives is part of its culture; it goes a long way back; one of its founding fathers, John McDonald, always talked about being a member of the community is not a spectator sport; and the members of the Boeing Company live and breathe that culture.
		Melnick stated giving to organizations is a chance for him to give back; Boeing looks at it as if one is fortunate enough to work for the Boeing Company, there are always people less fortunate; and they need to give back to their communities.
