PROCLAMATION
EMPLOYER SUPPORT OF THE GUARD AND RESERVE WEEK
WHEREAS, National Guard and Reserve forces comprise nearly half of our nation's
military strength, and are essential to America's national security; and Reserve
Component forces stand ready to answer the call to serve, whether serving alongside
active duty counterparts all across the globe or responding to humanitarian crises at home
and abroad; and
WHEREAS, employers provide critical support to members of the National Guard and
Reserve; allowing Citizen Warriors to serve whenever the Nation calls, often foregoing
financial gain and making sacrifices in the process; and
WHEREAS, employer support is stronger than ever, more than 42 years after President
Richard Nixon authorized the Secretary of Defense to establish the National Committee
for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR); and
WHEREAS, our nation is in debt to the Citizen Warriors departing the comforts of home to
ensure our freedoms remain intact; and, likewise, America pays special tribute to the
commitment of dedicated and supportive employers who continue to make service in the
Reserve Components possible.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Linda M. Kavanagh, Mayor of the Town of Fountain Hills, Arizona,
do hereby declare August 21-27, 2016 as National Employer Support of the Guard and
Reserve week in Fountain Hills. -
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the
official seal of the Town of Fountain Hills, Maricopa County, Arizona this 18" day of
August, 2016.
