Salute to Congress The Propeller Club’s Salute to Congress dinner is the maritime industry’s most prestigious and anticipated annual event in the Nation’s Capital. For more than a quarter century, the Club and its members have recognized Members of Congress who champion the mission and goals of our organization, our diverse industry and our nation. All Salute to Congress honorees have demonstrated consistent support for the United States-flag Merchant Marine and the maritime industry in the United States. The 2013 Salute to Congress honoree will be the Honorable Elijah Cummings of Maryland. He will be honored at this year's event, to be held May 7 at Army Navy Country Club in Arlington, Virginia. (Please note the new venue for 2013). A few individual tickets remain, and can be purchased on our Merchandise page. Please call 703-691-2777 for more information.
