Help Reward Good Employers of Guard and Reserve

November 16, 2009

Nomination Season Opens for 2010 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award

National Guard and Reserve members and families encouraged to nominate supportive employers

ARLINGTON, Va. – Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), a Department of Defense agency, today announced the opening of the nomination season for the 2010 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. National Guard and Reserve members and their families are eligible and encouraged to nominate employers who have provided exceptional support of military employees above the federal law requirements. Nominations will be accepted at www.FreedomAward.mil from November 2, 2009 to January 18, 2010. The Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award is the highest recognition given by the U.S. Government to employers for their outstanding support of their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.

The 2010 recipients will be announced in the spring and honored in Washington, D.C. at the 15th annual Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award ceremony on September 23, 2010. Recipients of the 2009 Freedom Award met privately with President Barack Obama and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Dr. Jill Biden, Deputy Secretary of Defense William Lynn and Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Dennis McCarthy presented the awards at a ceremony attended by members of Congress and senior government and military officials.

Almost one-half of the U.S. military is comprised of the National Guard and Reserve. The Department of Defense shares these citizen warriors with their civilian employers, many of whom provide significant support to their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve. 2009 honorees ranged from AeroDyn Wind Tunnel, LLC, a small automotive racing wind tunnel testing company in North Carolina to large businesses including Microsoft and AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals to Santa Ana, California Police Department, a public sector employer. Past recipients of the Freedom Award have provided significant support including full salary, continuation of benefits, care packages and family assistance to employees fulfilling their military obligation.

The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 under the auspices of ESGR to recognize exceptional support from the employer community. “There is much excitement surrounding the 15th anniversary of the Freedom Award,” noted acting ESGR Executive Director Ms. Polli Brunelli, “and we’re enthusiastic to begin selection of the 2010 recipients from amongst all of the heartfelt nominations that will be submitted by thousands of proud Citizen Warriors.”

ESGR is a Department of Defense agency established in 1972. Its mission is to gain and maintain employer support for Guard and Reserve service by recognizing outstanding support, increasing awareness of the law and resolving conflicts through mediation.

Whether most of the common Patek Philippe watches use gold plated straps and bracelets, Louis Vuitton for sale are made with genuine 18kt gold made bracelets and semi precious stones which make the look as precious as the original models. Most of the Tag Heuer for sale use scratch proof glasses for face dial which help to retain the Jaquet droz watches look of the Audemars Piguet watches for a longer span of time as perfect fashion accessory.
The look and feel of Audemars Piguet for sale is almost like the original Graham replica and most of the Swiss Montblanc watches are truly water resistant; the only major difference is in the price of the original Tudor for sale and the Swiss made quality Maurice Lacroix watches . For example, if someone purchases a Baume & Mercier watches of movado watches , replica movado , or of replica Alain Silberstein brand, he will surely be able to enjoy the original look of the concerned Maurice Lacroix replica , almost same comfort, and accuracy of output in fraction of price of the original.
