Freedom Award nominations sought from American National Guard
The beginning of the new year marks the final days for Ohio National Guard and Reserve members and their families to nominate supportive employers for the 2009 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award. With 123 nominations from Ohio already submitted, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a Department of Defense agency, continues to encourage nominations of employers who have gone above and beyond in their support of military employees.
Nominations will be accepted at www.FreedomAward.mil through January 19, 2009. The Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award is the highest recognition given by the U.S. Government to employers for their outstanding support of their employees who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
Fifteen recipients from across the nation will be selected, representing small employers, large employers and public sector employers. The 2009 recipients will be announced in the spring and honored in Washington, D.C. at the 14th annual Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award ceremony Sept. 17, 2009.
The Freedom Award was instituted in 1996 under the auspices of the National Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) to recognize exceptional support from the employer community.
For questions regarding the Freedom Award nomination process, please visit www.FreedomAward.mil or contact Beth Sherman, ESGR Public Affairs, at

‘Kindie Rocker’ Justin Roberts When he made his first appearance in the Miami Valley in 2007, Justin Roberts and his Not-Ready-For-Naptime Players rocked to a rowdy crowd of over 600 preschoolers and parents. His high-energy pop hooks and playful lyrics had the audience singing along and dancing in the aisles. On Jan. 17th, Roberts and his band returned to Tipp City High School for a two-show “double play” to promote his newest CD, Pop Fly. Roberts is part of a growing scene in children’s music dubbed “Kindie Rock.” Made famous through music videos on kids cable channels such as Noggin, the genre blends imaginative storytelling and clever rhymes to catchy rock tunes. With hints of James Taylor, Elvis Costello and a twist of Blink 182, this is music that has mom cranking-up the stereo in the minivan, after strapping the kids in their booster seats. The Tipp City show benefits Overfield Early Childhood Program in Troy, and is sponsored by Friends of Overfield, Upper Valley Hearing and Balance. Justin Robert's new CD, Pop Fly, can be purchased at Pinky Scout in Troy or visit their website at www.PinkyScout.com. |
