Kentucky Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (KY ESGR)

12/06/2022

Making This ESGR Award Was a Little Unusual
ASHLAND, Ky., Dec. 5, 2022 – This afternoon the Kentucky Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) presented a Patriot Award to Joshua Winn, a supervisor at AT&T.
It was more than a little unusual.
The nominator for the award was Matthew Allen, a United States Army Reservist Specialist 4, a member of the 117th Chaplain's Detachment, who works for Winn.

Here's where it gets interesting.
Allen resides in Trenton, Ohio.
His office is in Grayson, Ky.
Winn resides in Austin, Texas.
Allen's unit has its headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah
ESGR is an office of the Department of Defense located in Arlington, Va.
ESGR’s headquarters in Kentucky is in Frankfort, Ky.
The AT&T person who set up the meeting is in Pueblo, Colo.
The presenter, Harry Wiley, Kentucky ESGR’s state public affairs officer, resides in Ashland, Ky.
Other AT&T management watching the presentation and applauding Winn were in Dallas.

The presentation was made over the Internet.

But, it gets even more interesting!

Allen is currently deployed to Kuwait!

It was certainly a special presentation, one that covered the map, and showed that AT&T’s support not only of Winn and his award, but of Allen, was widespread.
The Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support citizen warriors through a wide range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed. Said Allen, “Joshua has been very supportive of my current deployment and making sure I had the time I needed to get things for the deployment.”

Meet Tristan, an associate in OPD. He was walking to work this morning because his bike was stolen. A very nice couple picked him up and brought him to work. They came inside the store and bought him a bike so he wouldn’t have to walk. Tristan was very surprised and appreciative. It touched the hearts of our Management staff as well.

Flemingsburg Police Department Is Honored
By Department of Defense, Named Freedom Award Recipient
FRANKFORT, Ky. – The Flemingsburg Police Department today received the Secretary of Defense
Employer Support Freedom Award, the highest recognition of employers for their support of their
employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
The award was made to Police Department Chief Brian Bowling by Governor Andy Beshear on behalf of
the Department of Defense in a ceremony at the state Capitol.
“The Freedom Award is the highest U.S. government honor to employers for support of National Guard
and Reserve members, and the Flemingsburg Police Department was selected out of more than 2,700
nominations,” Gov. Beshear said. “I am so proud of their extraordinary dedication to our state and
country, which they live out every day serving their community in law enforcement and through their
commitment to support employees in the National Guard and Reserve. Employers like the Flemingsburg
Police Department are crucial to ensuring our Guard and Reserve are ready to protect the nation in
critical missions overseas and within our local communities in their time of greatest need, as they’ve
done in Kentucky throughout the pandemic and following the historic tornadoes and flooding.”
According to Philip Miller, chairman of the Kentucky ESGR committee, the Flemingsburg Police
Department’s treatment of its employees who are members of the Guard or Reserve is superlative by
any measure. The department provides its citizen soldiers time off for their military duties, supports
their families when away for training or duty, and has policies that provide full compensation for any
wages missed due to any military service up to several weeks per year.
The nomination for the award was made by Police Department member Timothy Smith, who is a chief
warrant officer in the Kentucky Army National Guard. Smith and his family received absolutely
extraordinary support during his recent three- year long deployment, said Miller.
We are delighted that CWO3 Smith’s nomination resulted in the Flemingsburg Police Department
receiving the Freedom Award,” said Maj. Gen. Haldane (Hal) B. Lamberton, adjutant general of the
Kentucky National Guard. “It is a prime example of our Kentucky National Guard’s partnership with
businesses, large and small, and public sector Throughout the Commonwealth.”
The Flemingsburg Police Department is one of 15 national recipients selected this year from more than
2,700 nominations submitted by National Guard and Reserve members from across the United States
and its territories. To-date, only 325 employers have received this award since its inception in 1996.

The Kentucky ESGR Committee provides employers and Guard and Reserve personnel in the
Commonwealth with answers to employment and military duty questions. It is an office of the
Department of Defense established in 1972 whose mission is to gain and maintain employer support for
Guard and Reserve service by recognizing outstanding support, increasing awareness of the law, and
resolving conflicts through mediation.
