It was a representative from the DOD and the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) to let him know that he had won the Patriot Award for his support to U.S. National Guard members and veterans on the MU Campus. Ryan was awestruck. The Patriot Award is given to individuals who show superior \u201cefforts made by employers and supervisors to support citizen warriors through a wide range of measures.\u201d \u00a0Mr. Dalton\u2019s award was submitted by Mr. Kyle Norvile, who serves with D Company 103rd Engineers in the Pennsylvania Army National Guard.
