A built different network

When I retired from the Navy in June of 2016 there was a bucket list experience still left unchecked. If you know me I rarely watch college football at all, but when it comes to the Army-Navy game I’m always present and accounted for with my X1 Remote in hand.

Up until 2018 when Comcast flew close to 90 veterans scattered from around their national enterprise for a Military Development Symposium at its Philadelphia headquarters.

With all things considered in December of ‘18 when I physically walked into Lincoln Financial Stadium to watch my first ever, Army-Navy game history will continue to be written. Especially now during the dark winter of 2020.

Pre-COVID-19 December is normally a very cold time of the year across the nation. Especially for veterans who are isolated in their homes during this dark winter. Learn about Comcast’s Hidden Heroes network through its Internet Essentials initiative.

The Blue & Silver lining of it all was that my Director of Marketing who is an extremely huge Philadelphia Eagles fan actually read about a Cowboys fan who beat him to the newly minted Comcast Technology Center first.

Which our WA direct sales channel was the “Undisputed Champion” across the enterprise during 2018. Teamwork made the stream work, thanks, Ernie.
