Official Thank You: Resolution Establishes April 18, 2025, to Honor Electrical Linemen
This resolution officially sets aside April 18, 2025, as "National Lineman Appreciation Day." It's a formal nod to the folks who work, often in dangerous conditions high above the ground or underground, to keep our electricity flowing. The main goal is to recognize their essential contributions to maintaining the power grid and ensuring public safety, especially when disaster strikes.
Think about the last time the power went out during a storm. Who’s out there, often first on the scene alongside police and fire departments, working to get things back up and running? Linemen. This resolution specifically acknowledges them not just as skilled tradespeople but as crucial first responders. While it doesn't change regulations or allocate funding, it serves as a public thank you, aiming to raise awareness and appreciation for the demanding and vital work linemen perform every day to keep our modern lives powered.
