Dear [Employer]:
As the commander of the
[unit name], I would like to personally thank
you for your efforts in providing exceptional support to
[Rank First Last] who voluntarily
serves in the United States Air Force Reserves.
Defending Americans against the threat of terrorism has
been a national priority since the
tragic events of September 11, 2001, and the Air Force Reserve has been one of
our nation's
primary lines of defense. The Air Force Reserve has contributed to missions like
Operation
Enduring Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle and Operation Iraqi Freedom. This is why
it is
extremely important that [Rank Last]
attend weekend drills and annual training. It provides
[him/her] the necessary training and skills to be prepared for the battlefield
of the 21st century.
Like you, the Air Force Reserves understands the
importance of professional education.
Military training provides [Rank Last]
the opportunity to enhance [his/her]
communication,
people, technology, and leadership skills. In addition,
[he/she] constantly trains to handle
multiple projects under tough deadlines. All these skills are beneficial in
today’s business world.
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 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]'s military experience will
benefit both your organization and our country.
Sincerely,
[FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
