“Public Service Recognition Week pays tribute to the almost 20 million Americans who serve their communities, their States, and their country by working for government. This year will mark the ninth Public Service Recognition Week, and over 1,000 municipalities across this Nation are gearing up to honor their public employees. Public Service Recognition Week reminds us that all Americans benefit from the achievements of public employees. They protect our streets, maintain our natural parks, explore our skies, teach our children and defend our nation. This week teaches us that government employees are not nameless bureaucrats, but doctors and engineers, teachers and scientists, police officers and soldiers, friends and family members. Their efforts prove that serving one's country in the public sector is the highest form of patriotism. Their commitment and hard work on behalf of this Nation deserve to be recognized. Public Service Recognition Week offers us a chance to proclaim our solidarity with government workers and to show America that public employees are an integral part of reinventing government.”
