Westborough – Petty Officer First
Class (PO1) Ryan Brueggeman, Rhode Island US Navy Reservist and
Employee of Camerota Truck Parts of Westborough MA, nominated his
employer for the Department of Defense Patriot Award for the
continued support from the company’s General Manager Bill St.
Germain. “Bill’s great! The Reserve Unit I belong to often
requires short term commitments. Every time this happens he and the
company is always supportive.” Camerota Truck Parts has 185
employees at six locations in the Northeast. “I know we have two
other employees in our CT location that have been deployed, we’re
proud of them and always supportive of their service” said Mr. St.
Germain.
The Patriot Award was presented by MA National
Guard Sergeant First Class (SFC) Richard Reynolds who is employed as
the MA ESGR Program Coordinator. After the presentation, PO1
Brueggeman added “They’ve always been supportive; when I was
hired the interview process was quite thorough; I was asked to come
back for a second interview and was then given the job. Two days
later I received notification from the Reserves that I was needed. I
immediately informed my boss and told him because of this unique
situation that I would not expect Camerota to retain me. They said
they support me and would hold my position until I return. They
Did!”
