Freedom Mortgage Receives Seven Seals Award


BOCA RATON, Fla., Nov. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Freedom Mortgage, one of the largest full-service mortgage companies and the top VA and top FHA (government-insured) lender in the U.S., was honored with the Seven Seals Award for its support of military service members who work for the company.

National VA Lender, Freedom Mortgage, Receives Seven Seals Award from Department of Defense Program, ESGR

The Seven Seals Award is presented in recognition of significant individual or organizational achievement, initiative, or support that promotes and supports the men and women who serve in the National Guard and Reserve. The award is the highest given by the state chair of an Employers Support of The Guard and Reserve (ESGR) committee. ESGR is a Department of Defense program.

Staff Sgt. Paul Thorson, 166th Airlift Wing, who serves as public affairs superintendent for the Delaware Air National Guard and is a digital program manager at Freedom Mortgage, nominated the company for the prestigious award.

"Freedom Mortgage is a true supporter of the military community through its actions, programs and philanthropy," said Thorson. "Last year, after notifying my manager of a salary gap when I was called in for temporary active duty, the company quickly took care of my issue and rolled out differential pay for reservists in a matter of months. Having worked for several companies, I have never seen an organization make changes to benefit employees so quickly. As a guardsman, I am proud to work for Freedom Mortgage." 

Stanley C. Middleman, Freedom Mortgage founder and CEO, said, "I'm honored that one of our own has nominated us for the Seven Seals Award. We are proud to support the brave men and women who serve in our military, which is why we are happy to offer training for veterans interested in working in the mortgage industry."

"There are roughly 800,000 people currently serving in the National Guard and Reserve," Middleman added. "We recognize the unique skills and abilities these service members bring to Freedom Mortgage and have worked hard to provide them with a fulfilling career while educating our entire company on the military culture and way of life, especially this month as we honor Veterans Day."

Thorson is currently working with Freedom Mortgage Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer Twana Harris to create a military employee resource group to enhance the relationship the company has with members of the National Guard and Reserve.

Recently, ESGR-NJ State Chair Mike Ferraro presented the Seven Seals Award to Freedom Mortgage Chief Operating Officer Mike Patterson.

Ferraro said, "Companies such as Freedom Mortgage that support the men and women who risk their lives to protect our country deserve to be recognized. On behalf of the ESGR, we want to congratulate Freedom Mortgage for leading from the front and setting the example for other corporations to follow in supporting the military community."
