Allen, TX, January 17, 2012: No Magic, Inc. President and CEO Gary
Duncanson was awarded the prestigious Patriot Award, in recognition of his
support of the U.S. military and his policies of supporting and hiring veterans
for the company. The award is given by the Employer Support of the Guard and
Reserve (ESGR), a Defense Department agency, to recognize businesses which
practice leadership and implement personnel policies that support employee
participation in the National Guard and Reserve.
But Duncanson wants more.
He is challenging businesses across the U.S. to hire veterans returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan, who he hails as ‘men and women of honor’ who are
responsible, accountable and get things done. Duncanson was nominated for the
award by Benjamin Moreland, a No Magic employee, Naval Academy graduate and
Lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve.
Retired Army Colonel J.P. Hogan presented the Patriot Award to Duncanson, and
U.S. Congressman Sam Johnson presented the No Magic CEO with an American flag
that flew over the U.S. Capitol. The Allen-based technology company is located
in Johnson’s Third District of Texas, and the Congressman also urged employers
to strongly consider military veterans for job openings as the economy continues
to improve.
“We do not often hear the stories of the support system behind our Armed Forces
whose sacrifices and action allow our brave men and women to continue serving
America,” said Rep. Johnson. “It’s great people like Gary Duncanson who are the
unsung heroes.”
No Magic is a veteran-owned, privately-held technology firm. Its modeling,
simulation and analysis software solutions are utilized by a number of
government agencies and defense contractors. Members of Duncanson’s family are
also currently serving in the U.S. military.
“As the saying goes, ‘you can either stand behind our troops or feel free to
stand in front of them’,” Duncanson said when accepting the award. “The work
ethic of our men and women in uniform is what the American economy needs today
to grow small business, attract more international trade and make ‘MADE IN THE
USA’ mean something again.”
Selected quotes from awards ceremony:
- “Gary’s patriotism shines through daily as he encourages our company and partners to hire veterans. His most recent hire is an Army veteran and he has also made a job offer to a former shipmate of mine. He is a patriot of the highest order.” Benjamin E. Moreland, LT. USNR
- “Gary is an admirable leader and true patriot.” Rep. Sam Johnson
- “It’s important that America knows how we can help our men and women in uniform once they return home from the world’s hot spots. The Patriot Award helps do that and No Magic is a business that walks the walk.” J.P. Hogan – Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.), Area Chair, ESGR
