a 4-foot by 5-foot acrylic painting by PEP artist Gene Suchma, won first prize

sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Education Asscociation. Reproduction is prohibited

In the toughest of times,
public employees came through for New York City with heroism, dedication and pride.
This
special section of PEP is dedicated to the heroes of September 11, 2001—living
and dead—and to the thousands of public employees and union workers
who made recovery a reality for New York City over the past year.
May
their valor and dedication never be forgotten. May the city they brought back
from tragedy and despair continue to honor their bravery and their labor, not
only in ceremonies but in the most practical ways. May the uniformed agencies
recognize that civilian workers are a vital part of the mix.
May the
people and the government realize that weakening the public service infrastructure
by privatization threatens the ready-to-go workforce of trained and experienced
municipal employees who are always the city's first line of defense when disaster
strikes.
