The ESGR Patriot Award was presented in a ceremony at Barry Controls in
Hopkinton, MA on July 13, 2006. MA ESGR State Chair Ken Forchielli presented
the award to Georges Laurent who was nominated by MSG (Ret) Winston Perry.
Surrounded by a large group of employees,
MSG (Ret) Perry thanked Mr. Laurent for his support during two lengthy
mobilizations. Mr. Laurent noted that the support was not only from him but the
entire organization.
This organizational support became even
more evident when Vice President of Human Relations Joanne Moffot signed a 4
star Statement of Support. Clearly, Barry Controls’ HR policies pertaining to
Guard and Reserve employees exceed the standard of “above and beyond.”
