The Washington Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve, an agency of the Department of Defense, recently honored Arvin Kumar — branch manager for the Federal Way branch of Chase Bank — with a Patriot Award in recognition of his extraordinary support of an employee who serves in the Army National Guard.

Kumar was nominated for being supportive of Specialist Daniel Alcain, who serves in Alpha Company, 181st Brigade Support Battalion, Washington Army National Guard.

Alcain expressed his gratitude for Kumar’s support when military duties, such as being activated for the wildfires in eastern Washington, interrupted his civilian work schedule.
