Boyer Commercial Construction, Inc. announced it was selected as a finalist for the 2021 Secretary of Defense Employer Support Freedom Award (Freedom Award) by the Department of Defense’s Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) Program. The Freedom Award is the highest recognition given by the U.S. government to employers for their extraordinary support of employees serving in the National Guard and Reserve.
Boyer Commercial Construction, Inc. is one of 30 finalists selected from 3,382 nominations submitted by National Guard and Reserve service members highlighting how their civilian employers go over and beyond what the federal law requires to support them.

“We are tremendously honored to be recognized by the Department of Defense as a finalist for the Employer Support Freedom Award,” said Brian Boyer, Boyer President. “We take great pride in supporting the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country as well as their families. We value their commitment to serving our nation and the positive impact they have on our mission as we expand our presence in the southeast supporting clients that include veteran, military and other federal organizations. We hope this recognition highlights the importance of employers standing with the Guard and Reserve in the communities they serve.”
