(Left to Right: John Gallagher and Justin Patton)

In June, Justin Patton, Darrell Waltrip Honda’s Detail Supervisor, received the Patriotic Employer Award from the Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve (ESGR) . The ESGR is a Department of Defense Agency and began in 1972. Patton was nominated for the award by his employee PV2 Jason Scott, who is currently serving in Iraq with TN ARNG’S 278th ACR. In addition to Patton receiving the Patriotic Employer Award, General Manager John Gallagher reaffirmed Darrell Waltrip Honda’s commitment by counter-signing the Statement of Support .

Carl Lambert, Area Chairman of Middle Tennessee’s ESGR states, “Your support and encouragement is vital to ensure the success of our men and women of the National Guard and Reserve”. Lambert has been the Area Chairman for Middle Tennessee ESGR Committee since December 2008 and states, “During that time, our committee members have presented 482 Patriotic Employer Awards to businesses and metropolitan/state/federal agencies within Middle Tennessee”. This shows the growing support in the Middle Tennessee area of employers regarding members of the National Guard and Reserve.

Introducing the 2011 Odyssey!!

The all-new 2011 Honda Odyssey is the ultimate minivan reinvented, re-energized and evolved. With its modern styling, spacious interior, and high-tech features, the new Odyssey almost demands a new category. Although it carries up to 8 passengers, there's nothing "minivan" about the Odyssey’s efficient-yet-sporty performance, available 10-way power adjustable leather-trimmed front seating, authoritative acceleration and all the thoughtful engineering you'd expect from a Honda.

Of course, the new Odyssey pushes the tech envelope further with available features like a 16.2-inch dual-view-capable ultra-wide DVD Rear Entertainment System with HDMI input, and a premium audio system with 12 speakers. Everything is gracefully held together by a lattice of user-friendliness and simplicity—just load it with family and friends, gear up, and go.
