(inspirational music)

00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:06.750 line:15% 
<v ->Welcome to Comcast Center,</v>

3
00:00:06.750 --> 00:00:09.483 line:15% 
headquarters of Comcast NBCUniversal.

4
00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:11.560 line:15% 
Today, we gather

5
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.890 line:15% 
to reaffirm Comcast NBCUniversal's commitment

6
00:00:14.890 --> 00:00:17.670 line:15% 
to our National Guard and reserve members

7
00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:20.450
through a signing of a statement of support.

8
00:00:20.450 --> 00:00:23.650 line:15% 
<v ->The commitment to our troops, the commitment</v>

9
00:00:23.650 --> 00:00:26.800 line:15% 
to say, "We have your back," speaks volumes

10
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.960 line:15% 
of the character of this team here.

11
00:00:29.960 --> 00:00:32.440 line:15% 
<v ->Everything I've learned about leadership I learned</v>

12
00:00:32.440 --> 00:00:33.677 line:15% 
in the military, and

13
00:00:34.628 --> 00:00:36.860
you just want to give it back.

14
00:00:36.860 --> 00:00:38.170
You want to pay it forward.

15
00:00:38.170 --> 00:00:41.755
<v ->The military community brings incredible talents,</v>

16
00:00:41.755 --> 00:00:45.700 line:15% 
character, leadership, the ability to adapt to change,

17
00:00:45.700 --> 00:00:47.740 line:15% 
and these are the skills we want in our company.

18
00:00:47.740 --> 00:00:50.110
You saw that we recognized Mel Penna, today.

19
00:00:50.110 --> 00:00:51.790
That's because she was the force

20
00:00:51.790 --> 00:00:53.640
behind updating our benefits.

21
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:56.446
<v ->We're supporting the talent acquisition effort</v>

22
00:00:56.446 --> 00:00:59.470
to hire 10,000 members of the military community.

23
00:00:59.470 --> 00:01:00.700 line:15% 
<v ->Comcast made it easier to serve</v>

24
00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:02.530 line:15% 
because they help you out with it.

25
00:01:02.530 --> 00:01:05.040 line:15% 
So if I get deployed, they reach out to my family,

26
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:06.950 line:15% 
and they help out my family, if need be.

27
00:01:06.950 --> 00:01:08.330 line:15% 
<v ->It's about the initiative and drive,</v>

28
00:01:08.330 --> 00:01:10.340 line:15% 
and bringing control in our environment,

29
00:01:10.340 --> 00:01:11.173 line:15% 
and that's what I'm here to do,

30
00:01:11.173 --> 00:01:12.420
and that's what they hired me to do.

31
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.070
It's good to see this level of support

32
00:01:15.070 --> 00:01:17.110
from a major organization such as this.

33
00:01:17.110 --> 00:01:18.920 line:15% 
<v ->We're doing the latest and greatest,</v>

34
00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:20.970 line:15% 
and even future technologies that don't even exist.

35
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:23.250 line:15% 
I can take that back to my Army Reserve unit

36
00:01:23.250 --> 00:01:26.120
and help spread the wealth of knowledge.

37
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:27.420
<v ->And what's great about the significance</v>

38
00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:29.930
of companies like this is they have such a huge voice.

39
00:01:29.930 --> 00:01:31.550
And others will follow, and I know that.

40
00:01:31.550 --> 00:01:33.420 line:15% 
So this really is leading from the front,

41
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.620 line:15% 
and hopefully, you'll see many more companies step up

42
00:01:35.620 --> 00:01:37.530 line:15% 
and say, "We'll hire a veteran, too."

43
00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:39.777 line:15% 
<v ->I think it says we're committed.</v>

44
00:01:39.777 --> 00:01:42.800
We do things very well when we get committed

45
00:01:42.800 --> 00:01:45.247 line:15% 
and behind 'em and really make 'em happen.
