Does your spouse’s employer support their military service and your family?

December 09, 2009

Nominate them for the 2010 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award.

By Maj. Melissa Phillips | Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESEGR)

The support of spouses, loved ones and, particularly, employers makes it possible for our National Guard and Reserve members to perform at their best. Tens of thousands of employers across the nation employ National Guard and Reserve members, fully aware that at any moment they may be called to serve. And when this happens, the employer, the employee and their family all face challenges. We are grateful for the many employers who remain patriotically steadfast in support of military employees and their family members, both financially and emotionally, going well beyond the law. Supportive employers allow service members to perform their duties with less concern about their jobs and loved ones back home.

Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense agency, invites nominations for the 2010 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest recognition given by the U.S. Government to employers for their outstanding support of their employees that serve in the National Guard and Reserve. National Guard and Reserve members and their families are eligible, and encouraged, to nominate their employers now through January 18th, 2010 at FreedomAward.mil.

Freedom Award recipients support their Guard and Reserve employees and their families in important ways, both large and small. Past recipients have provided differential pay during deployments, continued insurance benefits or sent items from home in care packages. Some of the most valued assistance has been the support extended to deployed service members’ spouses and families. When one National Guard member was deployed, his employer filled his seat at his sons’ sports games. When a service member’s wife was left alone with her two sons while serving overseas, his employer cared for her sick children so she could continue to work. And during the deployment of a single father, his employer sent his daughters off to school each morning with a wake up phone call. These small efforts are of great significance in the lives of National Guard and Reserve members, their spouses and their families.

Any employer supportive of its National Guard and Reserve employees or their families is eligible for a Freedom Award nomination. Past recipients of the award range from a small family-owned farm in Iowa to large corporations, including Chrysler and Microsoft, to the City of Austin, Texas, a public sector employer.

The 2010 recipients will be announced in the spring and honored in September at the 15th annual Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award ceremony in Washington, D.C. Recipients of the 2009 award met with President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, and received their awards at a ceremony keynoted by Dr. Jill Biden.

Error code 643 is not an uncommon error in the Microsoft Windows operating system. It would occur when you access the Windows Updates and try to install the new updates into your computer. Actually, this error is associated to the Windows .NET Framework. You would probably receive error code 643 when you try to install .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1. And that means you have something wrong in the registry of your computer.

Look, there is no context that we can force someone to help their employeer's family as none of the army force people are earning in huge. They need to support their family first and then think about others later pre k grants
