SUPPORTING QUOTES

Anthony L. Taylor, Army Reserve Public Affairs Specialist, United States Army Reserves

“Readiness is job one for our nation’s Army. America’s Army Reserve Soldiers, who are skilled and educated in more than 148 different career fields from doctors, engineers, and scientists, are only able to maintain that level of success and meet their readiness requirements because of employers like Mr. Joseph White and Zebra Technologies. Being a Soldier is not an easy job, and being an Army Reserve Soldier, like Col. Daniel Jaquint, brings challenges such as balancing a civilian career with military duties and family life. We depend on and deeply appreciate individuals like Mr. White who understand the value of service that our Soldiers perform.”

Dan Jaquint, Chief of Staff, Enterprise Mobile Computing, Zebra Technologies

“Zebra and Joe White have provided me with unwavering support and the autonomy and flexibility to meet my military obligations as a member of the U.S. Army Reserve. There is no question in my mind that my service in the Army Reserve has added to my civilian capabilities and vice versa. I am fortunate to be able to work in an organization comprised of individuals with such character.”
