Field Service Manager honored for extraordinary support of his employee who serves in the Army Reserve
Aircuity, the safe, smart and efficient airside solutions company, announced today that the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), an agency of the Department of Defense, has honored Aircuity’s Nathan Palmer with a Patriot Award. This award is given in recognition of Nathan’s extraordinary support of his employee, James Katz, who is currently serving in the Army Reserve.
According to Thomas Boyle, ESGR’s Massachusetts Chair, “The Patriot Award was created by ESGR to publically recognize individuals who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to their employees, who like citizen warriors before them, have answered their nation’s call to serve. Mr. Palmer was nominated for being highly supportive of the Reserve Service by his Reserve Component employee. Supportive supervisors are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation’s National Guard and Reserve units.”
Aircuity is also a signatory of the ESGR Statement of Support, which pledges that the company fully recognizes, honors and enforces the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and appreciates the values, leadership and unique skills Service members bring to the workforce and will encourage opportunities to employ Guardsmen, Reservists, and Veterans.
“Aircuity is a proud participant in the Statement of Support Program and we are happy to support those, such as James enrolled in the Guard or Reserve”, said Aircuity president, Rob Brierley. “Nathan is a shining example of Aircuity’s commitment to those in the service.”
