Jeff Brandt, CEO, and Kathleen DeLawrence, COO, Ability Prosthetics and Orthotics, Exton, Pennsylvania, have received a Patriot Award, which is presented to managers and supervisors who are nominated by an active military reservist employee. First Lieutenant U.S. Army Reserves Cody Smith, CPO, a clinician in Ability P&O’s Charlotte, North Carolina, facility, nominated the pair for supporting him during his obligations for active duty service.
Smith serves as the assistant operations officer in an engineer battalion consisting of six companies in three states and is required to perform several weeks and weekends of reserve duty each year.
Command Sergeant Major PA Army National Guard (Retired) Jeffery Hall, a representative for the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, came to Ability’s Exton location to present the award.
