Meetings, happy hours, graduations, even weddings. Now it's time for a virtual anniversary. Won't you join me? 20 years ago, on June 30th, Verizon was born. It was an era of pay phones, dial-up internet, and not so smart wireless phones. We have made so much history since then, it's worth a look back at some of what went into who we are today. There was our crisis response to September 11th, 2001. >> I have seen people from everywhere down here, working together, pulling together, and we are going to get this thing up and running. >> A character-defining effort with V Teamers working around the clock to get things back up in a little more than a week. There was this iconic campaign, begun in 2002. >> Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Good. >> Some of you are so young, you may not know this guy actually worked for us first. There was the birth of our Verizon credo in 2004. >> Who is this company that we call Verizon? >> Our historic pioneering of mass-scale fiber optics home with Fios, our recovery response to Hurricane Katrina.
