LACROSSE – Kansas Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, a Department of Defense program, announced today Rush County Sheriff Ward Corsair, was honored with a Patriot Award Tue., March 2,2 in recognition of his extraordinary support of an employee serving in the U.S. Army Reserve.

According to Walt Frederick, Kansas ESGR state chair, “The Patriot Award was created by ESGR to publicly recognize individuals who provide outstanding patriotic support and cooperation to their employees, who like the citizen warriors before them, have answered their nation’s call to serve. “Supportive supervisors are critical to maintaining the strength and readiness of the nation’s Guard and Reserve units,” Frederick said.

Spc. Jacob Schluckebier, a member of the 129th Transportation Company, Detachment 2 in Great Bend, nominated Sheriff Corsair for the award because “Corsair has gone above and beyond to support my decision to extend my time in the Army Reserve. Sheriff Corsair has been supportive and understanding with my hectic schedule.”

Corsair accepted the award from Spc. Schluckebier and Kansas ESGR Employer Outreach Representative, Howard Partington.
