ESGR Freedom Award nominations due Jan. 17

  • Published
DOBBINS AIR RESERVE BASE, Ga. --  Dear Servicemember,

Does your civilian employer send care packages when you're deployed, or check up on your family? Has it been easy for you to serve in the military and work at your current company due to support you receive from your employer?

If so, then you should nominate them for the 2011 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. The Freedom Award is the highest recognition given by the U.S. Government to employers for their support of their employees who serve in the Guard and Reserve.

The nomination form can be found at www.FreedomAward.mil. Every nominated employer will receive a frameable certificate from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) to further promote their support for Guard and Reserve service. The deadline for nominations is 17 January 2011.

Please email ESGRFreedomAward@osd.mil with any questions regarding the nomination form or the Freedom Award.

Thanks,

Penelope Harbour
GA ESGR Executive Director/PSS
