Jaguars fans, it's time to meet our Wells Fargo hometown hero. Please turn your attention to the
video boards for a special message from Petty Officer William Cook. My name is Construction
Mechanic First Class William Cook stationed at CBMU-202 Naval Station Jacksonville. I'm currently
deployed to FOB Salerno and Coast Province Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring
Freedom. I would like to say hi to all my friends and family watching tonight and I'm sorry I can't
be there in person to see the Jags win against the Colts. But like many of the troops here in
Afghanistan and around the world proudly serving, I will be watching on the American Forces Network.
Most of all, I would like to say hi to my wife Joy, my youngest daughter Taylor, and also say
happy birthday to my oldest daughter Casey. Joy, there are no words that can express my thanks for
the sacrifices you have made for our family in the past year. I know it hasn't been easy. You are my
hero. Have fun tonight. I love you and miss you and promise I'll be home soon. Go Jags!
And now please welcome his wife Joy and the rest of their family. Now Joy, we know it's been a long
tough time since you've seen your husband, so tonight we've got a special surprise for you.
Fans, please welcome back Petty Officer Cook who has just returned from Afghanistan.
Special thanks to Petty Officer Cook and to all of our servicemen and women here tonight.
Wells Fargo, with you it is time to support the heroes in our community. That's what I'm talking about.
