PATRICK AIR FORCE BASE, FLORIDA – Has your employer’s support made it easier for you to serve in the National Guard or Reserve?

Does your civilian employer promote military service, support your family, and keep in contact while you’re on routine duty, responding to natural disasters, or serving in a deployed location?

If so, you should nominate your civilian employer for the 2019 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. Nominations are open through Dec. 31.

This award is the highest recognition given by the U.S. Government to employers for their outstanding support of employees serving in the Guard and Reserve.

Each year, Guard and Reserve employees, or a family member acting on their behalf, have the opportunity to nominate their employer for the Employer Support Freedom Award.

Nominate your employer during nomination season (October 1-December 31 each year) by logging on to FreedomAward.mil and clicking Nominate Employer at the top of the page.
