🌟 Proud to Present the Patriot Award 🌟
AZ ESGR Volunteer W R McCollom had the honor of recognizing exceptional service at the Homeland Security Investigations office in Tucson, AZ. The Patriot Award was presented to Mike Rose in recognition of his outstanding support and leadership.
Although Lt. Col. Salvatore Flores, who nominated Mr. Rose, couldn’t be there due to active duty, he shared heartfelt words about Mike’s unwavering support. In his nomination, Lt. Col. Flores highlighted how Mike has consistently demonstrated professionalism, support for PME studies, and flexibility to accommodate active duty service.
The presentation was held in the conference room with the presence of Special Agent in Charge Mr. Francisco Burrola and the Deputy Special Agent, making it a truly meaningful event.
Afterwards, Mike graciously toured McCollom of the office, where I was impressed by a wall displaying photos of all the service members within the team—featuring a proud picture of Lt. Col. Flores in uniform.
It was a privilege to honor such dedicated individuals who serve and support our community and country every day.
