The Pennsylvania Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve recently announced Matthew Pagano, general manager of SpringHill Suites in State College, was honored with a Patriot Award in recognition of his support of an employee serving in the Pennsylvania Guard and Reserve.
“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,” said William Burkhard, Pennsylvania ESGR North Central Area chairman, in a prepared statement.
Pagano was nominated for being highly supportive of the Marine Corps Reserve service of Cpl. David Mitchell, a member of MP Company B, 4th LE Battalion in McKeesport.
ESGR, a Department of Defense office, seeks to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the U.S. National Guard and Reserve. Paramount to ESGR’s mission is encouraging employment of guardsmen and reservists.
