    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

    forcement 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.
    DONALD J. TRUMP
