                               RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the sense of the Senate that public servants should be 
  commended for their dedication and continued service to the United 
 States during Public Service Recognition Week and throughout the year.

Whereas the week of May 3, 2026, through May 9, 2026, has been designated as 
        ``Public Service Recognition Week'' to honor employees of the Federal 
        Government and State and local governments, and members of the uniformed 
        services, for their contributions to the United States;
Whereas Public Service Recognition Week provides an opportunity to recognize and 
        promote the important contributions of public servants and to honor the 
        people who serve the United States at all levels of government and as 
        members of the uniformed services;
Whereas millions of individuals serve the public in government service and as 
        members of the uniformed services in every State, county, and city 
        across the United States and around the world;
Whereas public servants provide crucial services to millions of people across 
        the United States, supporting local programs and contributing to local 
        economies;
Whereas public service is a noble calling involving a variety of challenging and 
        rewarding professions and highly skilled and trained individuals 
        offering their knowledge, effort, and skills in support of the public; 
        and
Whereas the United States is a great and prosperous country, and public service 
        employees contribute significantly to that greatness and prosperity: 
        Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) commends the dedication, professionalism, and 
        patriotism of the public servants of the United States who 
        fulfill their constitutional oath and deliver essential 
        services to the people of the United States;
            (2) recognizes the indispensable role of public servants in 
        strengthening the economy of the United States, protecting the 
        safety and security of the public, safeguarding individual 
        rights, and sustaining the foundations of democratic self-
        governance;
            (3) honors the contributions of all public servants during 
        Public Service Recognition Week, May 3, 2026, through May 9, 
        2026, and throughout the year; and
            (4) calls upon the people of the United States to observe 
        Public Service Recognition Week with appropriate programs, 
        ceremonies, and activities that honor and acknowledge the 
        service of those who work on their behalf.
