The Office of the Secretary of Defense, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, has recognized Craige Brawley Liipfert & Walker LLP as a Patriotic Employer for the support of their employee, Army Reserve Major Thomas Crane, during his tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2011. Crane, who was stationed in Afghanistan from January, 2011 to December, 2011, served with the NATO Training Mission Headquarters. This tour for Major Crane was his second in the past few years, serving previously in Operation Iraqi Freedom from 2004-2005.

Crane, who started as a contract IT employee with the firm in 1999, became the firm’s Network Administrator in 2005. Craige Brawley is very proud to have Major Crane not only as an employee, but also to recognize him as a true patriot to the United States. Craige Brawley members will be attending the annual ESGR Employer Recognition Banquet in March, 2012, to accept an additional state level employer award.
