ESGR, a Department of Defense program, was established to promote cooperation and understanding between Reserve Component Service members and their civilian employers. The Patriot Award reflects the efforts made to support citizen warriors through a wide-range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families, and granting leaves of absence if needed. An employee serving in the National Guard or Reserve may nominate their supervisor to recognize the support they provide to the service member and his or her family.
Army Infantryman, Phan Kai, Data Analyst at ID, nominated Estrada for the Patriot Award. Since enlisting in the Virginia Army National Guard in 2016. Kai has been deployed to the Middle East in support of Operation Enduring Freedom (Spartan Shield) and to the Caribbean Sea to assist with hurricane relief efforts.
