Today, I rise to recognize our Nation's public servants and to thank them for their important contributions to our country. In every community across America, Federal employees work to make sure our government is effective and keeps us safe. Their daily contributions to their fellow citizens, and to the cause of freedom, are simply immeasurable. In America's First District, there are many hardworking and dedicated patriots who serve the people of this Nation every day. As we celebrate Public Service Recognition Week, which started on Sunday, May 6, and ends on Saturday, May 12, I want to express my utmost gratitude to the country's Federal employees, as well as our dedicated State, county, and local public servants for their tireless service. I am proud to represent the tens of thousands of Federal employees, retirees, and local and State government officials who live in the First District of Virginia. The Federal workforce is full of dedicated and committed citizens who exemplify patriotism in everything they do. I hope my colleagues will join me in honoring them for their service to ensure the security of our Nation. ____________________
