ADAMS, MA. March 3, 2010. Two MAESGR
Committee members travelled to the picturesque valley town of Adams
in beautiful Berkshire County, only 15 minutes from the New York and
Vermont state boarders, to present a Patriot Award to Matt Holland.
Mr. Holland is the grandson of the company's founder and the
Production Supervisor at the Holland Company, Inc. He was nominated
for this recognition by employee Jason Revett who is also a
Specialist (SPC) in the Army National Guard. SPC Revett was not
present at the ceremony due to military commitments. He was
represented by his father, Richard Revett who is a retired Army
veteran. Mr. Revett said his son was very thankful for the support
his supervisor, and the entire company, has shown for his military
career. Also at the award presentation was the Plant Manager Michael
J. Badorini who spoke highly of the personal values Jason brings to
the job.
Since 1967, Holland Company has been a leading
producer and supplier of Aluminum based products, such as Aluminum
Sulfate, Polyaluminum Chloride, Sodium Aluminate, as well as Dry
Alum, and Sodium Bisulfite. Holland Company Specialty Dry Alums are
shipped throughout North America and to export markets. The company
employs about 50 people.
The National Committee for Employer Support of
the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) is a Department of Defense agency
established in 1972. The mission of ESGR is to gain and maintain
employer support for Guard and Reserve service by recognizing
outstanding support, increasing awareness of the USERRA law of 1994
and resolving conflicts through mediation. The MA Committee has more
than 40 volunteers dedicated to helping every "Citizen
Soldier". On hand representing MAESGR were Western MA Chair and
Ombudsman Director Earl Bonett and Staff Member Bill Hebert.
