Major kudos to officials of the Deutsche Bank Championship, which begins Friday at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.
Executives and guests from Deutsche Bank and members of the United States Armed Forces will visit the New York Stock Exchange Wednesday to launch the bank's U.S. veterans outreach program, a broad recruitment and support effort for former military personnel.
As part of the event, Deutsche Bank will announce several new initiatives, including a new employee network group, which will promote career development and support for the veteran community inside the bank and throughout the financial services industry.
In honor of the special occasion, Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, Dennis McCarthy, will join Deutsche Bank Americas CEO Seth Waugh on the podium to ring the opening bell at 9:30 a.m. Also attending will be the Commanding General of the United States Army Reserve, Lieutenant General Jack Stultz; Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard, Major General Joseph Carter; Adjutant General of the New York National Guard, Brigadier General Patrick Murphy; and Senior Enlisted Advisor for the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, Command Sergeant Major John Gipe.
Defending champion Steve Stricker, No. 2 in the FedEx Cup points standings, will also be present to help mark the start of the eighth Deutsche Bank Championship, which will feature an expanded program for members of the military that will include an opening ceremony to kick off the Championship and Red Sox Pro-Am as well as a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open a new Military Patriot Outpost on-site. The DBC also will provide complimentary admission to all active, reserve and retired military service members and their dependents throughout the week.
A live webcast of the opening bell (9:29 a.m.) and closing bell (3:59 p.m.) will be available on the homepage of nyse.com.
Nice going, DBC. We can't do enough to recognize those who put their lives on the line every day to allow us to live in freedom. Whenever you see a member of the armed forces, take a moment to extend your hand and say thanks. You'll feel much better.
