It's not easy being an employer in 2025 .

00:05.969 --> 00:08.191
It's even harder when you've got to let

00:08.191 --> 00:10.525
some of your best employees go to serve ,

00:10.609 --> 00:12.942
whether it's locally , around the world ,

00:12.942 --> 00:14.998
or somewhere else here in the United

00:14.998 --> 00:17.053
States . But if no one else has told

00:17.053 --> 00:19.220
you this , thank you . We recognize as

00:19.220 --> 00:21.387
citizen soldiers , citizen airmen that

00:21.387 --> 00:23.109
it's really the support of our

00:23.109 --> 00:25.220
employers , our community that allows

00:25.220 --> 00:27.276
us and enables us to go forth and do

00:27.276 --> 00:29.498
this hard work , and we understand that

00:44.751 --> 00:46.918
communities and our nation . And don't
