Why is it important for Americans to recognize the value of civil servants?

Civil servants are essential yet often overlooked because the system works so efficiently that their contributions become a 'background app' - invisible when functioning properly. As the news anchor explains, crucial daily benefits like planes not crashing and checks arriving on time happen because government workers are effectively doing their jobs. These civil servants ensure society's basic functions operate smoothly without recognition. The public often fails to notice this critical work until systems fail, making it necessary to educate Americans about the value these workers provide in maintaining safety and functionality in everyday life.
