GDC SALUTES THOSE EMPLOYEES CURRENTLY SERVING IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES AROUND THE WORLD!!

Twice the Citizen

Before the birth of this nation, there was the citizen soldier that we know today as the National Guard and Reserve. For most of its history, the nation has relied on these "weekend warriors". Lexington and Bunker Hill, San Juan Hill and Santiago, the muddy trenches in France and Belgium, the beaches of Normandy and Saipan, even Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf - the military's reserve components have been there. Weekend warriors? Hardly .

As of August 3, 2005, the Georgia Department of Corrections had 184 of its employees activated in support of the War on Terror. The Department provides the largest contingent of state government employees activated and the most from any single employer in Georgia. M ost of those activated either are in the Iraqi Theater or soon will be. Despite the amenities provided, our people have to deal with being separated from their families, their friends, and everything familiar. M oving from the lushness of Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama to the desert environment in
Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and other Gulf States is a lesson in stark reality.

Our 184 are typically young and not so young, mothers, fathers, grandfathers and grandmothers. Each is someone's wife, husband, son, daughter, brother, sister, granddaughter, grandson, aunt, uncle, niece or nephew. But for us, they are our friends, our co-workers and r egardless of how we may have individually interacted in the past, we miss them and each is very special. We show our support each day, working and taking up the load while they are
gone. We ensure their families know that we are here and can help.

Show your support for our troops. A movement started on July 15, 2005 to wear something r ed on Fridays to the workplace just as a visual symbol of our support. Support them. Wear red each Friday. They are truly, as Winston Churchill dubbed them, "Twice the citizen" training on weekends and going back to their full time jobs
on M onday.
