Sir , what does Veterans Day mean to

00:07.416 --> 00:09.582
you personally ? I think it's a really

00:09.582 --> 00:11.804
great holiday , you know , a chance for

00:11.804 --> 00:14.380
us to come together and celebrate the

00:14.380 --> 00:16.500
many accomplishments of all of our

00:16.500 --> 00:18.930
service members across all the branches .

00:19.299 --> 00:21.459
It really does celebrate the , the

00:21.459 --> 00:23.626
combined accomplishments of the entire

00:23.626 --> 00:25.403
US military and the service and

00:25.403 --> 00:27.626
sacrifice that those people have made .

00:28.559 --> 00:30.379
throughout their careers , the

00:30.379 --> 00:32.601
commanding officer here at Keyport , we

00:32.601 --> 00:35.689
have about 46% of our workforce as

00:35.689 --> 00:38.240
military veterans , so recognizing each

00:38.250 --> 00:40.529
each of them for their contributions

00:40.770 --> 00:42.826
that they're continuing to make even

00:42.826 --> 00:44.770
after they you know gave up active

00:44.770 --> 00:47.470
service is also important to our

00:47.470 --> 00:49.526
community . Hey Pete , how are you ?

00:49.526 --> 00:53.419
I'm good . I'm just

00:53.419 --> 00:55.475
out here asking people what Veterans

00:55.475 --> 00:57.586
Day means to them personally . Well ,

00:57.586 --> 00:59.752
Veterans Day happens to be my favorite

00:59.752 --> 01:01.919
holiday , Pete . Uh , it's in fact , I

01:01.919 --> 01:01.500
think it's the only federal holiday

01:01.500 --> 01:03.667
where we celebrate something current .

01:03.667 --> 01:05.778
All the other holidays that we have ,

01:05.778 --> 01:08.000
we celebrate something in the past or ,

01:08.000 --> 01:10.111
you know , something that was uh . In

01:10.111 --> 01:12.222
the foreground or in the background ,

01:12.222 --> 01:11.970
but Veterans Day is the one day where

01:11.970 --> 01:13.914
we celebrate those who are with us

01:13.914 --> 01:15.914
today . So I'm pretty excited to do

01:15.914 --> 01:18.137
this . In fact , excited about the fact

01:18.137 --> 01:20.081
that half of the folks who work at

01:20.081 --> 01:22.192
Keyport are actually veterans . So as

01:22.192 --> 01:21.970
they drive in and see these flags ,

01:22.010 --> 01:24.066
it'd be a nice way to thank them for

01:24.066 --> 01:26.399
that . Oh yeah , absolutely , thank you .

01:28.389 --> 01:28.580
Hey .
