Community members, leaders, members of the Minnesota Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) and Minnesota National Guard gather August 18, 2021 in Willmar, Minnesota to celebrate Minnesota's Marcus Construction for receiving the Secretary of Defense’s Employer Support Freedom Award for its outstanding support shown as an employer of members of the National Guard. This award was one of only 15 given to employers across the 54 states, territories and the District of Columbia in 2021.
“I am proud to salute the outstanding employers who have earned the distinction of being named Freedom Award recipients as we mark the 25th year of this highly coveted recognition,” said Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin III. “The men and women of the National Guard and Reserve make significant contributions to our communities and our national security through their civilian and military careers. We owe a debt of gratitude to these exemplary employers, who by valuing and supporting their employees’ military service, enhance the strength, readiness, and diversity of our National Guard and Reserve forces.”
