Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin expressing his gratitude for the heroic government employees who provided aid during 9/11 (listing firefighters, postal workers, police officers, and emergency medical personnel), as well as the other public employees who provide essential services daily. AuCoin describes how these government employees have face being defunded and demoralized in the "rabidly anti-governmental age."

This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired on November 21, 2001.
