“I deeply appreciate Cisco having hosted this memorial. As I am sure you heard many times on June 15, the biggest fear for a Gold Star parent is that their child will be forgotten. What Cisco has done helps us in our quest to assure that does not happen.”
- Don Trueblood (Proud Father of SSG Eric S.
Trueblood)
“You, and your team at Cisco, were so wonderful and did such an outstanding job….You Honored the Gold Star families, and Our Heroes with such tender loving care...I am so grateful.”
- Dianne Layfield (Proud Mother of LCpl Travis
Layfield)
What an amazing story of collaboration. Everyone we talked to say ‘yes, what can we do to help?’. This is what our I&C Communities and our Cisco Family is about.- Ken Estep (Proud Father
of Sgt. Adam Estep)
Words of Gratitude & Appreciation
“We have a lot of things that we do to give things back and that’s hard because we can never thank you, your families and those who gave up so much more for us to have the honor and privilege to do those things. So, from me personally and from Cisco as a company , which I love to be here, I thank you for the sacrifices and services you have given us. We can never repay you but we can always say thank you and honor you. “- Curt Hill (VP Customer
& Partner Assurance)
“Man does not die until he is forgotten”
