The Minnesota National Guard would like to thank businesses like the Minnesota Department of Transportation for their service and sacrifice to our service members and congratulate them on receiving the Freedom Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve.

Our Soldiers, Airmen and civilian employees are our most important resources. Through this series we hope to highlight the successes achieved and challenges our members have overcome within our organization. The individuals within the Minnesota National Guard make up the teams who accomplish our missions, and that is why we place our people first.
