Public Service Recognition Week by President Obama

Our Nation’s progress has long been fueled by the efforts of selfless citizens who come together in service to their fellow Americans to change our country for the better.

At the birth of our Nation, our Founders fought to secure a democracy that represents the people, and the civil servants who pour everything they have into making a difference are the individuals who keep that democracy running smoothly and effectively.

During Public Service Recognition Week, we honor those who dedicate themselves to ensuring America’s promise rings true in every corner of our country, and we recommit to upholding the values they fight for every day.
