Oregon National Guard recognizes Roseburg VA employee for deployed support
Summary
Members of Charlie Company, 186th Infantry Regiment, Oregon National Guard, deployed to Djibouti, Africa during the middle of October. They paused recently to honor some employers here at home for their support of the company’s soldiers. One “employer” is Roseburg VA Health Care System employee, Lisa Yop, the Nurse Manager for Employee Education, who accepted the Department of Defense and Oregon Committee of Employer Support for the Guard and Reserve’s “Patriot Award.” Yop was nominated by a fellow VA employee and member of Charlie Company. “Being recognized as a Patriotic Employer is such an honor to me,” said Yop, a mother of three daughters who has been married to husband, Brent, for 21-years. “I know the importance of the National Guard and [deployed VA employee]. I think this recognition by the National Guard means a lot to our department. Not only for the hardship of [VA employee’s] absence from work, but the hardship on all of us missing our work family member.” (Official VA Photo by T. T. Parish/Released)
