On February 19, 2018 Peter Brown, Assistant Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) Project Manager, presented awards of appreciation to supervisor Mike Ogden, Trihydro Senior LDAR Project Manager, and Jack Bedessem, Trihydro President and CEO, for their support of those serving in the military.

Mr. Brown nominated Mr. Ogden for the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) award, for his support during Mr. Brown’s 11-month deployment to Afghanistan in 2016-2017. Mr. Ogden was selected as a recipient of the Patriotic Employer Award, the U.S. government’s highest honor to supervisors for their outstanding support of employees serving in the National Guard and Reserve.

To recognize Mr. Bedessem’s support, Mr. Brown presented him a shadowbox with a U.S. flag flown on a combat mission airplane in Afghanistan. The appreciation flag was signed by the crew members that flew the plane.
