Guard and Reserve: Nominate Your Employer

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 can nominate your civilian employer for the 2018 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. The Freedom Award is the U.S. government's highest award for large, small, and public organizations that provide outstanding support of their Guard and Reserve employees. The nomination form takes about 10-15 minutes to complete and can be found at FreedomAward.mil. Just click 'Nominate Employer' on the homepage. Nominations are due December 31, 2017.
