The Florence Rotary Club recently hosted a stirring presentation honoring the military service of local workers, and the employers who recognize the sacrifice and commitment of their reservist.
Rodney Bell, of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), spoke at the award ceremony. He said, “This tribute to our employers is to thank them for not only continuing to provide employment to their solider, but also supporting the soldier’s family during the separation. This allows our soldiers to focus on the task at hand, which is the national defense of this great country.”
ESGR, a Department of Defense office, was established in 1972 to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers. ESGR has served our country for more than 40 years, fostering a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States. These citizen warriors could not defend and protect us at home and abroad without the continued promise of meaningful civilian employment for themselves and their families.
Continued Mr. Bell, “It is our sincere pleasure to award the Department of Defense Employer Support of the Guard & Reserves Patriot Employer Awards to the following supporting employers. Each employer will receive a framed Department of Defense Certificate of Appreciation and lapel pin.”
