Excuse me. I would like to take this moment to thank the Civil Servant.

Every EPA agent. Every FDA agent. Every State Attorney General. Every County Clerk. Every DMV Counter Clerk.

Every FBI agent. Every CIA agent. Every FEMA agent. Every County Sheriff. Every Cop, everywhere. Every EMT, every CBO beancounter, every State Financial Services Coordinator.

Every Safety Advisor. Every Class II Administrative assistant. Every NASA Scientist, ever, period. Every Congressman, every Senator, every President.

Every good Reporter.

Every Occupy Member.

Every speaker, blogger, or weirdo down the street that showed up at that demonstration where the guy with the motorcycle tried to scare us all.

Every soldier, any war, any conflict, any police action. Period.

To every good solid American Writer, because you are the HEART AND SOUL;

To every Civil Servant, everywhere:

The Bad Ones; YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE;

TO THE GOOD ONES AND YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE:

I love you. I love you forever.

Thank you.

Postal workers, Utility workers, Construction workers, Retail workers, Manufacturing workers, Transportation workers, Distribution workers, Office workers, Waste & Recycling workers, Healthcare workers, Technology workers, Entertainment workers and all that make the world in which we live possible.

Work is honorable & we should honor all those who get up each morning and go to do their part, no matter what it might be for our society.

We civil servants love you, too. We're not "faceless bureaucrats looking to interfere with people's lives." We're doing the jobs that we're paid to do - help the American people.
