Hello . My name is Carlos Torres . I am

00:02.840 --> 00:05.062
the division chief for the public sales

00:05.062 --> 00:07.520
contracting division and today I want

00:07.520 --> 00:10.480
to talk to a little bit about um how I

00:10.480 --> 00:12.520
feel or what I think about Hispanic

00:12.520 --> 00:14.650
heritage month and what Hispanic

00:14.650 --> 00:17.960
heritage means to me is the culture

00:17.970 --> 00:21.350
and this year the theme is Unidos which

00:21.350 --> 00:23.461
means united and two things stick out

00:23.461 --> 00:25.910
for me for Hispanic heritage month and

00:25.910 --> 00:27.700
that's a strong family .

00:27.710 --> 00:31.530
Hispanics typically

00:31.540 --> 00:33.900
have a strong family and that family

00:33.900 --> 00:36.140
isn't just your immediate family , it's

00:36.140 --> 00:38.084
your grandparents , your aunts and

00:38.084 --> 00:40.029
uncles and cousins supporting each

00:40.029 --> 00:42.029
other . Just like delay disposition

00:42.029 --> 00:44.084
services were dispersed all over the

00:44.084 --> 00:46.307
world and we do support each other just

00:46.307 --> 00:48.418
like a family and I think we use that

00:48.418 --> 00:50.584
term a lot and disposition services is

00:50.584 --> 00:52.696
our family . Uh The second thing that

00:52.696 --> 00:54.751
comes to mind is a strong work ethic

00:54.751 --> 00:57.170
and for Hispanics at least for me me

00:57.180 --> 00:59.350
and my generations and my grandparents

00:59.350 --> 01:01.406
that I've noticed is that comes from

01:01.406 --> 01:03.940
working in crop fields and orchards ,

01:04.000 --> 01:06.210
ranches and farms and through

01:06.210 --> 01:08.800
generations that work ethic has been

01:08.800 --> 01:10.890
passed down to me and I do the same

01:10.890 --> 01:12.946
thing to my family and my Children .

01:12.946 --> 01:15.150
And I see that in disposition services

01:15.160 --> 01:17.680
it's a strong work family or the strong

01:17.680 --> 01:20.160
work ethic that combines being a strong ,

01:20.170 --> 01:23.900
strong family and being united united

01:23.910 --> 01:26.210
and the one mission of supporting the

01:26.210 --> 01:29.200
war fighter um disposition services .

01:29.210 --> 01:31.290
You know specifically on disposal

01:31.290 --> 01:33.457
operations , supporting the army , the

01:33.457 --> 01:35.401
navy , the Air force , the marines

01:35.401 --> 01:38.230
Coast Guard and now the Space Force and

01:38.230 --> 01:41.850
other federal agencies and a

01:41.850 --> 01:44.310
strong work ethic in the family are the

01:44.310 --> 01:46.570
two things for Hispanic Heritage Month

01:46.640 --> 01:50.490
that resonate with me and keep it in

01:50.490 --> 01:52.930
line with the theme of unite of unidos

01:52.940 --> 01:55.560
being united . And I believe , uh ,

01:55.570 --> 01:57.848
delay disposition , services employees .

01:57.848 --> 02:00.670
All of our teams were very proud of

02:00.680 --> 02:02.847
being part of the team , just like the

02:02.847 --> 02:05.010
Hispanics are uh , in the culture .
