LRS supervisor receives DOD Patriot Award

Posted

WHEATLAND — Patricia Jeffries of the Laramie River Power Station was presented a Patriot Award on Thursday by Kathy Wright, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve volunteer, in recognition of Jeffries’ extraordinary support of employees serving in the Guard and Reserve, according to a news release issued Thursday by ESGR.
Jeffries was nominated by Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class Katie Case for her support of Case’s military service and that of other Guard and Reserve employees of the power plant.  
“Supportive employers like the Laramie River Power Station and Pat Jeffries are vital to the success of our mission and the defense of this nation,” Wright stated in the release. “Our Guard and Reserve members could not perform their military duty without knowing their civilian employer supports them 100 percent.”  

Case noted her supervisor is supportive and approachable when any military task requires coordination with her civilian employer.
“The plant honors its veterans and takes pride in all who have served or are currently serving,” Case stated in the release.    
Leadership from Navy Operational Support Center Cheyenne also joined Case for the presentation: Lt. Cmdr. Chris Tidwell, commanding officer; Chief Petty Officer Kevin Igo, senior enlisted adviser; and Chief Petty Officer David Cheatham.
In addition, Troy Tweeten, the plant manager, signed a statement of support recognizing the sacrifices of military reservists and the plant’s commitment to work with them as teammates in the defense of the nation.  
ESGR, a Department of Defense program, seeks to foster a culture in which all employers support and value the employment and military service of members of the National Guard and Reserve in the United States.
