Spouses can now Honor their Supportive Employer with the Patriot Award Published Oct. 21, 2010 By Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve NELLIS AIR FORCE BASE, Nev. -- During the past year, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve volunteers have heard a number of stories telling them about military spouses' employers providing outstanding support to families of service members, along with recommendations to include employers of military spouses for Patriot Award consideration. ESGR has answered the call; spouses can now nominate their supportive supervisor for the Patriot Award. To nominate their employer, spouses can go directly to www.esgr.org/PA and fill out the spouse nomination form. Each nominated supervisor will receive a Department of Defense Certificate of Appreciation and a Patriot lapel pin. The certificate can be provided to the spouse for presentation to his or her employer, or presented to the employer by the ESGR State Committee. Exhibit Arts will send a copy of the nomination information with the certificates to the state committee. (Courtesy of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve)
