BLISSFIELD, Mich - Here’s something you don't see everyday, three Patriot Awards being presented at the same business. Congratulations to Mike Uckele (Owner), Del Collins (CEO) and William Bangerter (Supervisor) at Uckele Health and Nutrition. Nominator Staff Sergeant Liyaquat Qurbanali of the Air National Guard stated “My employer has always been very supportive when I go for TDY and Drill Weekends. They have always supported me and never questioned me about my (time) when I am called for service. I appreciate their service to me and being supportive of me being in the Military.”

Thank you to these three men for their support of SSgt. Qurbanali and to Uckele Health and Nutrition for being a Service Member friendly employer.
