A civilian employer takes photos from a C-130 Hercules in flight during the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve “Breakfast with the Boss” at the 182nd Airlift Wing in Peoria, Ill., Sept. 17, 2014. The attendees visited the base to see firsthand how their employees serve the Illinois’ reserve military and how employers play an important role in the defense of the nation. The Department of Defense established ESGR in 1972 to promote the relationship between service members and their civilian employers. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
