National Drug Intelligence Center (NDIC) Receives Award from the Department
of Defense for Extraordinary Support of Employees Who Serve in the National
Guard and Reserve
Johnstown, PA - On March 4, 2008, Major Christopher D. McDevitt and Mr. Marty Kuhar, on
behalf of the Department of Defense (DoD), presented an award to the National Drug
Intelligence Center (NDIC) for Extraordinary Support of Employees Who Serve in the National
Guard and Reserves. Major McDevitt is with the Pennsylvania National Guard and Mr. Kuhar is
chairman of the local chapter for the DoD's program for Employer Support of Guard and
Reserve.
NDIC has demonstrated a true commitment and support to their employees who have served in
the National Guard and Reserves, according to Mr. Kuhar. NDIC Director Michael F. Walther
himself, a Lt. Colonel in the U.S. Army Reserve recently returned from a one year tour of duty in
IRAQ and it was only fitting that he received the award on behalf of the center.
In addition to Director Walther, NDIC has had 18 employees serve with the National Guard or
Reserves in support to the U.S. efforts in IRAQ and Afghanistan. Director Walther commented
that NDIC is proud of their employees who stand ready and who have served with the National
Guard and Reserves.
Director Walther also added that it should be noted that in further acts of support, NDIC
employees routinely orchestrated care packages and letters to servicemen and servicewomen that
were deployed overseas from NDIC headquarters in Johnstown, PA.
