During the event, Kotick highlighted the need for other corporate leaders to step forward and ensure that hiring veterans is a priority. “We embark on this effort as a grateful nation. Business leaders have an opportunity to renew their commitment to the American spirit and to reverse an alarming trend of not recognizing the sacrifices made by the men and women of our military service,” Kotick said.
