Thank you to the FEB Operations National Team for all of your efforts over the last two years; we completed a goliath-like change management project together. We all learned a lot about ourselves and developed new skills--I couldn't have asked for a better team!!! You are all the best. :) Thank you to the FEB Operations field team; it's great to be true colleagues now as OPM employees. It's not been an easy over the last few years, but FEBs are thriving thanks to your excellent work. Together, we are truly stronger together, and I'm grateful to serve beside you.
Happy to celebrate alongside my federal colleagues in DOJ.
Louis l Goldstein who served as Marylands comptroller for 53 years. He was an outstanding public servant and a friend. He was a great servant of the people and a steward of Maryland resources. A fair tax administrator and a guardian of taxpayer contributions.
I would like to say Thank you to an amazing Public Servant by the name of Paul Deyoung, Register of Deeds For VanBuren County Michigan. He always goes above and beyond in his duties as Register of Deeds. He is always participating and giving time to many organizations and communities that he serves. Paul Deyoung is a true pillar of Civic Duty, and I am proud to acknowledge him on this fantastic week of celebration and recognition. Respectfully Marcos M. Flores, Of Paw Paw Michigan

As a federal employee working in agriculture, I am privileged to witness firsthand the impact of our work on farmers and communities, both locally and globally. Each day, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and support those who dedicate their lives to feeding the world. From drafting policies that promote sustainable farming practices to collaborating with international partners to facilitate trade agreements, I am proud to be part of a team that works tirelessly to ensure the resilience and prosperity of our food systems. As a federal employee and a member of the agricultural community, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all public servants in agriculture for their unwavering dedication and service, which reaches far beyond borders, shaping the global footprint of agriculture.
TRIBUTE TO COLONEL WILLIAM J. CAVANAUGH I rise to honor COL William J. Cavanaugh, his contributions to the Air Force Research Lab at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH, and his distinguished 31-year service in the U.S. Army. Colonel Cavanaugh was instrumental in the design and architecture of the AFRL Bio Acoustics Lab anechoic chamber. Seventy years after its completion, the anechoic chamber is still used today and the research done works to save the lives of our service members on the battlefield. The American Institute of Physics featured Colonel Cavanaugh in their oral history and highlighted Colonel Cavanaugh's far-reaching impacts on the scientific community. In December of 2022, the Ohio Legislature's 134th Generally Assembly adopted HCR 32 to recognize "Colonel William J. Cavanaugh for his contribution to the design and architecture of the United States Air Force Research Lab Bio Acoustics Laboratory, and for his outstanding and enduring service to our nation." It is fitting to honor Colonel Cavanaugh for his lasting contributions that have saved the lives of our men and women in uniform. Sites from the National Veterans Memorial and Museum to the National Museum of the United States Air Force have all commemorated Colonel Cavanaugh and his work. As we expand and support the vital work that Ohioans continue to do at Wright-Patt and the Air Force Research Lab, it is important to ensure that future generations learn about past leaders, including Colonel Cavanaugh, and the difference they made for our State and our country. Today, I join a grateful State and a grateful nation in thanking Colonel Cavanaugh for his dedication and service to Ohio and our Nation.
This Public Service Recognition Week, I am grateful for Peter Redmon's dedicated service to the U.S. economy!! He and his colleagues at the BEA put the G(reat) in GDP.
Thank you to public servants everywhere! Whether you work for a small town municipal government or the biggest federal agency, your contribution matters more than most people will ever realize. I specifically want to thank my colleagues at the Colorado Governor's Office of Information Technology, Technology Accessibility Program for working tirelessly everyday to help ensure people with disabilities have equal access to State of Colorado government services.
Noreen thank you for making our workdays better. You're always making us laugh even when times are not the best. You're so great at keeping everyone up to date on policies and changes. Your witty sense of humor is refreshing. Keep it up O'leary!!!
