Back in February, Geonetric was honored to receive the Patriot Award for supporting National Guard and Reserve members. So when I was invited to attend the annual Employers Support of the Guard and Reserves Awards Luncheon in West Des Moines earlier in April, I was beyond honored. Above and beyond honored, in fact.

At the luncheon I was presented with the Above and Beyond Award, an elevated version of the Patriotic Employer Award. The Above and Beyond Award recognizes employers who do just that – go above and beyond to support the  National Guard and Reserve members we employ.

I was honored to be acknowledged. It’s humbling to see all these great people defending our country. Providing friendly policies for Guard and Reserve members is the least we can do as employers.
