Whereas Public Service Recognition Week provides an opportunity to recognize and
promote the important contributions of public servants and to honor the

across the United States and around the world;
Whereas public servants provide crucial services to millions of people across

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--

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;
