Rocky Rococo, to be Honored by Department of Defense for Extraordinary Support of Employees Who Serve in the Wisconsin National Guard and Reserve
Wisconsin Rapids, WI – The Wisconsin Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR), an agency of the Department of Defense, announced today that Rocky Rococo will be honored with a Patriot Award in recognition of extraordinary support of one of their employees - who serves in the Wisconsin Army National Guard.
The presentation took place at Rocky Rococo in Wisconsin Rapids on December 6, 2011 at 8:30 AM.
According to Dick Vallin, Wisconsin’s ESGR Chairman, “The Patriot Award was created by ESGR to publicly recognize individuals who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to their employees, who like the citizen warriors before them, have answered their nation’s call to serve. Craig Hanson, owner of Rocky Rococo in Wisconsin Rapids was nominated for being highly supportive of their Wisconsin Army National Guard component employee, Sergeant E5 Wayne C. Boyer of the 1-120th FA in Stevens Point. Supportive employers are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation’s National Guard and Reserve units.”
As the 1.3 million members of the National Guard and Reserve continue to perform an increasing number of unique missions with America’s borders and beyond, ESGR will continue to be the resource for the employers of citizen warriors. ESGR provides education, consultation, and if necessary mediation for employers of Guard and Reserve employees.
