Minneapolis - 24 September 2014:  The Defense Alliance held its annual award event Wednesday evening at HGA.  More than 70 people from defense-oriented organizations attended the event which was hosted by HGA, one of the nation’s leading architectural and engineering firms.

The evening was sponsored in part by Founding Fathers Brewery, which donates half of all profits to Veteran, servicemember and military family initiatives.
