Francis honored for patriotism

Rocky Francis

Rocky Francis, owner of Steel Concepts & Design LLC of Cape Girardeau, was honored as a Patriotic Employer by the Office of the Secretary of Defense. The award is one of two employer awards given by the government and recognizes supervisors and bosses who employ National Guard or Reserve Members and provide non-mandated support to employees engaged in military duties such as flexible schedules, time off before and after deployment, caring for families, granting leaves of absence and continuing pay while on deployment. Francis was nominated by Scott Enderle, a reservist who works full time for Steel Concepts. Francis said he sometimes grumbles about Enderle being gone so often. "But then I remember it's a small price I pay, for allowing him to serve our country in what could be a huge price he and other military members would pay for us all."
