ESGR offers two additional awards beyond the series. One of those awards is the Extraordinary Employer Support Award this award was created to recognize sustained employer support of Guard and Reserve Service members. Only prior recipients of the Freedom Award or the Pro-Patria Award are eligible for consideration by the state committee.
Recognizing supportive employers is vital to ESGR’s mission. ESGR’s 54 State Committees actively promote awards as a key element in furthering employer support, while strengthening relationships between service members and employers. DoD awards honor the sacrifices made by so many employers year after year.
