Thanks for bringing me a bike free of charge, a giftcard for Publix and a Hotel Stay to get me off the street and help me to continue to work at that Amazon distribution center during season! It was a nice gesture and certainly most appreciated.
To our first responders that always put their selves in danger for the wellbeing of others. To all the Teachers that work long hours, receive all kinds of abuse and buy items for their students with the low salaries they receive. To our amazing Military Personnel. To the government employees that keep the citizens welfare and interest a priority. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Without all of you, USA would not be the free federal republic we are.
I want to take a moment to express my deep gratitude for not only being in public service but appreciation for all those who serve as public servants with my agency, VDH. Each and every one of them plays an integral role in our communities, and their contributions do not go unnoticed. From our administrative staff to technology experts, finance professionals to human resources professionals, their dedication and hard work keep our agency running smoothly. Their behind-the-scenes efforts ensure that essential services are delivered effectively and efficiently. To my clients and colleagues, whether you're working in government and regulatory affairs, public health and preparedness, population health, or community health services, your commitment to serving the public is truly commendable. You make a difference in people's lives every single day, and for that, I am incredibly proud of the work you do. Thank you for your unwavering dedication, your tireless efforts, and your selfless service as public servants. You are the backbone of our communities, and your work is deeply valued and appreciated. Keep making a difference, because every role matters, and every individual contribution counts.
I would like to thank Mayeen Mohammedi, who serves as a Country Desk Officer for the Europe, Mediterranean, and Asia region for the United States Peace Corps. Mayeen worked on the Public Information and Communications team at the United Nations Department of Safety and Security. She also served as an Anti-Racism fellow with the Muslim Anti-Racism Collaborative and as a Citizen Historian with the 1947 Partition Archive, a nonprofit organization which documents eyewitness accounts from the partition of India. Mayeen has previously lived in The Gambia, West Africa for two years to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer and worked on issues like child marriage, female genital mutilation, and girls’ education in the village of Gambisara during her service. She also served as president of the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, sparking unprecedented conversations about immigration, colonization, race, and privilege within the volunteer community.
Pam, Thank you for inspiring me and so many others with your lifetime of service, in uniform while serving in the United States Army and as a tireless civil servant supporting the Department of Agriculture. You are an example for others as you harness idealism while allowing your wisdom to radiate through channels of practicality as you navigate your personal and professional journey. You continue to uplift and inspire. Thank you for all you do to create a symphony of engagement that resonates with excitement and shared celebration for your team.
Domenick Capomolla is the facility manager for one of our Science Centers located in Milford, CT. For more than a year he was detailed into the Branch Chief position while maintaining his own responsibilities as the facility manager. Domenick graciously continued the Branch Chief duties even after his temporary promotion expired. He repeatedly told me he just wanted to ensure the facilities team was taken care of and kept making progress. As Branch Chief he was responsible for the oversight of our five locations in CT, NJ, RI, MA and ME. Domenick continues to be a team player by helping the newly hired Branch Chief get settled in his new position and transferring the historical knowledge he has accumulated over the past year. I don't even want to think what could have been the condition of the facilities program had Domenick not stepped up to take the lead.
I would like to personally thank Samuel and Cora for paving the path towards my public service journey. As my parents they instilled in me the value of public service. The earned a place in retirement and I continue the legacy. Thank you!

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.
Sending much appreciation to the HUD Pittsburgh Field Office Team that helps lift those most vulnerable by supporting our communities through homelessness and housing initiatives, workforce development, and infrastructure improvements.
