ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Every year, NCUA recognizes employees who go above and beyond, but this year, one employee recognized NCUA.

As NCUA was recognizing 59 employees for exemplary performance at its 22nd Annual Award Ceremony on May 15, one employee saluted the agency for allowing him to do his patriotic duty. Ron Jones is an economic development specialist with NCUA out of Chicago, but he is also an Army colonel in the reserves who recently returned from Iraq.

Jones had the opportunity to present a flag that had flown over the Al-Faw Palace at Camp Victory in Iraq, where he served for a year, to the agency. "In naming a recipient, I definitely wanted to recognize NCUA because they're a model supporter," he said. Jones said he had heard from fellow reservists that their employers were not always so understanding of their active deployments.
