May 6, 2013: Public Service Recognition Week

"This week is Public Service Recognition Week and honors the millions of employees of the federal, state and local governments of the United States. This week provides an opportunity to recognize the important contributions of public employees and honor the diverse men and women who meet the needs of the United States through work at all levels of government."

"The United States is a great and prosperous country, and public employees – at all levels-- contribute to that greatness and prosperity because of the knowledge and skills of the highly trained individuals who work in public service. Millions of individuals work in government service in every city, county, and state across America and in hundreds of cities abroad, and I believe these governments are responsive, innovative, and effective because of the outstanding work of public employees like each of you." - Oregon DHS Director Erinn Kelly-Siel

Yeah.  Waytogo DHS. Thumbs down and a Raspberry to you.
