Why is Public Service important to you?

Public service to me means giving back with no expectations of anything in return. Raising your hand and taking an oath to obey the one thing that binds us all together, and that is the Constitutions of the United States of America. There is no greater joy than being able to help those that sometimes can’t defend/ help themselves. That is what public service means to me and why I chose this career. “
