Dear [Employer]:
As the commander of the
[unit name], I would
like to personally thank
you for your efforts in support of the Air Force Reserve program. As you know,
recently National Guard and Reserve units have been activated several times, for war,
peace keeping,
nation building, and state-side disaster relief operations. The Reserve forces
account for about
half of our total military forces. Weekend drill and annual training are
absolutely essential to
maintain the military skills that Reservists need to be able to accomplish their
assigned mission.
On behalf of the Air Force, I would like to
express my sincere thanks for allowing [rank]
[last name] time off to participate in the Reserves. As you are aware, our
nation faces a new
elusive threat, terrorism. The battle field of the 21st century is changing
rapidly and the demands
on Reserves are ever increasing. Your support towards
[his/her] reserve career has a direct
impact on securing our nation’s freedom.
Your continued support and cooperation are greatly
appreciated, and are vital to the
\defense of our nation. The Reserve force relies on an active partnership with
civilian employers
to allow Reservists to serve their country. I can assure you
[Rank] [last name]'s military
experience will benefit both your organization and our country.
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
