2007 Service to America Medal Finalists
On Tuesday, June 19, 2007, at a Capitol Hill breakfast in Washington, D.C., federal employees from across the country were honored as finalists for the 2007 Service to America Medals.
Their stories illustrate the dedication of federal workers across America who do extraordinary work. Whether it’s the continuing effort to protect our homeland, safeguard our health, or preserve the soundness of our economy, their work directly impacts the quality of our lives.
This year’s 31 finalists include a 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics winner and public servants who boast achievements in fields including foreign affairs; cancer research; patent filing; bioterrorism; hurricane tracking; archeology; telemarketing fraud; weapons trafficking; bomb dog training; weapons technology; foreign language training and nuclear waste cleanup.
Finalists come from the Departments of Commerce, Justice, Defense, State, Energy, HUD, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, Executive Office of the President, EPA, USDA, IRS, NASA, Library of Congress, CIA, Voice of America, and the Army, Navy and Air Force.
