  With days left in his term of office, President Joe Biden penned a letter to federal employees, obtained by Government Executive, Thursday thanking them for their service to the country during his administration.

  “You could have chosen to do anything with your talents, but you chose public service.

I am forever grateful to you and your families for your sacrifices, and all you have done on the frontlines to help realize the promise of America for all Americans.”
