WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 11, 2016) - As the nation honors its veterans today, Pepco also recognizes the men and women who chose to serve the country in the U.S. Armed Forces.

"I want to recognize especially the more than 280 PHI employees and contractors who have served, or are still serving, in the U.S. Armed Forces," said PHI CEO Dave Velazquez. "Our employees who have military experience bring added value to our company's work every day through their leadership, integrity and commitment. Thank you for bringing your talent to the critical responsibility of providing power to our communities, and again for your service to the nation and to us all. We're proud to call you our own." 

Pepco is dedicated to its commitment to America's men and women in uniform, and veterans seeking opportunities for employment throughout the company and our communities, where their unique skills and talents can be utilized.
