                Proclamation 10025 of May 1, 2020

                
Public Service Recognition Week, 2020

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                During Public Service Recognition Week, we pay tribute 
                to our Federal, State, and local government employees 
                for their unwavering dedication to civil service. On 
                the front lines in times of prosperity and adversity 
                alike, our world-class workforce remains ready and 
                willing to serve their fellow Americans. At all levels 
                of government, our civilian personnel have made our 
                Nation stronger and more prosperous.

                In recent weeks and months, our Nation's civilian 
                officials have united with unprecedented urgency and 
                resolve to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. Their 
                tireless efforts are ensuring Federal, State, local, 
                and tribal governments continue to provide necessary 
                services to their constituents, are helping forge 
                productive government-private sector partnerships, and 
                are bolstering our ongoing recovery efforts. Our public 
                health experts, who always play an integral role in 
                protecting the health and wellbeing of our people, have 
                provided critical and timely guidance to Americans on 
                how to stay healthy and prevent the spread of the 
                coronavirus. Emergency managers, first responders, and 
                law enforcement are continuing to provide life-saving 
                care, comfort, and support to those affected. Postal 
                workers are delivering essential supplies and 
                communications. Sanitation workers are keeping our 
                communities clean. School teachers and educators are 
                continuing to provide virtual education and support to 
                students. And countless other public servants are 
                diligently and humbly supporting our American way of 
                life during this crisis. Through their dedicated 
                efforts, the American people are protected and 
                supported despite the unprecedented challenges we face.

                As we start to see a promising forecast and eventual 
                recovery--thanks in large part to the extraordinary 
                sacrifices the American people have made on behalf of 
                their fellow citizens--we can begin the critical work 
                of reopening our country. We know that our public 
                service employees will play a crucial role in 
                restarting our economy and getting our society fully 
                revitalized, while also protecting American lives. My 
                Administration remains committed to supporting these 
                men and women at all levels of government during this 
                process, ensuring they have the resources and 
                information they need to continue serving the American 
                people while also safeguarding their own wellbeing. 
                Together, we will complete the work of rebuilding and 
                restoring our Nation.

                This Public Service Recognition Week, we are especially 
                grateful to our devoted public servants. Their 
                experience, expertise, and commitment to service will 
                lift our Nation up during these difficult times and 
                help ensure a swift recovery. We will forever be 
                indebted to them for their hard work, dedication, and 
                courage, always remembering their irreplaceable 
                contributions to our people and our country.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the 
                United States, do hereby proclaim May 3 through May 9, 
                2020, as Public Service Recognition Week. I call upon 
                Americans and all Federal, State, tribal, and local 
                government agencies to recognize

                the dedication of our Nation's public servants and to 
                observe this week through appropriate programs and 
                activities.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                first day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand 
                twenty, and of the Independence of the United States of 
                America the two hundred and forty-fourth.
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
