Dear [Employer]:

      As the commander of the [unit name], I would like to personally thank you for your efforts in support of the Air Force Reserve program. As you know, recently National Guard and Reserve units have been activated several times, for war, peace keeping, nation building, and state-side disaster relief operations. The Reserve forces account for about half of our total military forces. Weekend drill and annual training are absolutely essential to maintain the military skills that Reservists need to be able to accomplish their assigned mission.

      On behalf of the Air Force, I would like to express my sincere thanks for allowing [rank] [last name] time off to participate in the Reserves. As you are aware, our nation faces a new elusive threat, terrorism. The battle field of the 21st century is changing rapidly and the demands on Reserves are ever increasing. Your support towards [his/her] reserve career has a direct impact on securing our nation’s freedom.

     Your continued support and cooperation are greatly appreciated, and are vital to the \defense of our nation. The Reserve force relies on an active partnership with civilian employers to allow Reservists to serve their country. I can assure you [Rank] [last name]'s military experience will benefit both your organization and our country.

                                                                                                      Sincerely,




                                                                                                      [FIRST M.. LAST], [Rank], USAFR
