STATEMENT OF SUPPORT
FOR THE GUARD AND RESERVE

we recognize the National Guard and Reserve as essential to the strength
of our nation and the well-being of our communities.
In the highest American tradition, the patriotic men and women of the Guard
and Reserve serve voluntarily in an honorable and vital profession. They train to
respond to their community and their country in time of need. They deserve the
support of every segment of our society.
If these volunteer forces are to continue to serve our nation, increased public
understanding is required of the essential role of the Guard and Reserve in
preserving our national security. Their members must have the cooperation of all
American employers in encouraging employee participation in Guard and Reserve.
Therefore, we join other employers in pledging that:
1. Employment will not be denied because of service in the Guard or
Reserve;
2. Employee job and career opportunities will not be limited or reduced
because of service in the Guard or Reserve;
3. Employees will be granted leaves of absence for military service in the
Guard or Reserve, consistent with existing laws, without sacrifice of
vacation; and
4. This agreement and its resultant policies will be made known throughout
our organization.
