00:04.491 --> 00:07.523
- Coca-Cola has a storied history with the military.

00:07.523 --> 00:09.529
One of the things that we try to do at Coca-Cola

00:09.529 --> 00:12.150
is create engagement opportunities for our associates

00:12.150 --> 00:14.628
to recognize different things,

00:14.628 --> 00:16.875
and in this case since we're celebrating veterans,

00:16.875 --> 00:18.662
this gives our associates an opportunity

00:18.662 --> 00:20.215
to engage with the community

00:20.215 --> 00:22.396
and really touch veterans in a very special way,

00:22.396 --> 00:23.975
by putting together care packages

00:23.975 --> 00:25.382
for those who are deployed.

00:25.382 --> 00:26.730
You know, we've been doing this

00:26.730 --> 00:28.249
for about seven years now.

00:28.249 --> 00:30.234
This year we're going to do 10,000 care packages

00:30.234 --> 00:33.726
for our troops that are stationed overseas.

00:33.726 --> 00:36.311
We've done over 60,000 over the years

00:36.311 --> 00:37.958
and it's something that we're really proud of.

00:37.958 --> 00:39.746
It's something that our associates enjoy doing.

00:39.746 --> 00:41.693
They have a lot of fun coming out to do this.

00:41.693 --> 00:43.039
It's a really upbeat event

00:43.039 --> 00:45.789
but it's really for a good cause.

00:45.805 --> 00:47.473
It's something that we can feel good about doing

00:47.473 --> 00:49.480
but also recognize Veterans Day.

00:49.480 --> 00:51.651
We're really honored this year to do something special

00:51.651 --> 00:52.879
that we've never done before

00:52.879 --> 00:55.417
and that's actually have a swearing-in ceremony

00:55.417 --> 00:58.019
of future soldiers that are joining the Army.

00:58.019 --> 01:00.519
Last year Coca-Cola affirmed its commitment

01:00.519 --> 01:03.890
to our military by joining the PaYS Program,

01:03.890 --> 01:06.482
the Partnership for Youth Success Program,

01:06.482 --> 01:09.850
where we guarantee a interview for a job opportunity

01:09.850 --> 01:12.703
for troops that enlist as part of the program.

01:12.703 --> 01:14.479
We're really happy to be a part of that.

01:14.479 --> 01:15.883
(clapping)

01:15.883 --> 01:17.098
- You don't look too happy.

01:17.098 --> 01:18.172
It's a big deal.

01:18.172 --> 01:19.505
Congratulations.
