Dear [Employer]:
As the commander of the
###th Communication Flight, I would like to personally thank
you for your efforts in support of the Air Force Reserve program. As you know,
recently 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.
Today, our nation is at risk from new and elusive
threats. The battlefield of the 21st
century is changing rapidly. Terrorists wish to attack us and exploit our
vulnerabilities because
of the freedoms we hold dear. The Reservist has no greater mission than
protecting the
homeland from terrorist attacks.
[Member’s name]
participation in the Reserves is essential to maintaining operational
readiness to defend the United States. Weekend drill and annual training are
absolutely essential
to maintain those military skills that Reservists need to be able to accomplish
their assigned
mission. I sincerely believe that this experience provides
[him/her] with personal and
professional growth of unequalled value and is beneficial to your organization.
As a manager myself, I understand that Reserve military duty
commitments may cause
undue hardship for your business. Your continued support and cooperation are
greatly
appreciated, and are vital to the continued defense of this nation by our
military forces. Without
your dedication and participation none of this would be possible.
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
