The Department of Defense has approved the Patriot Awards for four supervisors at the Lowe’s Corporate Headquarters in Mooresville, N.C.

Patriot Awards recognize exemplary employer support of Guard and Reserve service members of one of the seven Reserve Components of the U.S. Armed Forces. Supervisors were nominated for the awards by their service member employees.

Retired Army Colonel Robert Lair of the N.C. Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve recently presented the awards to supervisors at the corporate headquarters in Mooresville. A Polk County resident, Lair has volunteered for this committee for more than 10 years.

The Lowe’s Corporation has a long history of appreciation of current military service members and military veterans. It is an attitude that is embedded in their corporate structure.
