MFA Honored with Award in Support of National Guardsman

MFA was a 2016 Nominee for the Secretary of Defense, Employer Support Freedom Award. This award was given “in recognition of exemplary support of National Guard and Reserve member employees.”

This Veterans Day, we want to recognize those who have served. MFA is very proud to support Andrew Vidourek, a project geologist at MFA.
