Comcast Technicians Replace Distressed Flags While in the Field
Comcast military veterans and employees recently launched a “flag replacement program” to help local customers and non-customers, alike, show their American spirit.
This program is led by employees who participate in Comcast’s Veterans Network Employee Resource Group known as “VetNet”. Members include Comcast employees who are military veterans, active participants in the Reserves, military family members and other supporters of the military community. Many of the members are Comcast front-line technicians who notice distressed flags during their daily routes.
If a Comcast employee notices a worn-out flag at a home or business, the technician shares the location with the Comcast flag replacement team, who contacts the individual or business and offers to replace it – for free. Flags are replaced for residents, nonprofits, and small businesses, regardless of whether they are Comcast customers. The old flags are retired in accordance with military protocols. In Southeast Michigan, Comcast employees have already begun the program and have replaced nearly two dozen flags.
Comcast is committed to supporting the military community and its veteran employees and families. To learn more about Comcast’s support of the military, click here.
