"This week our call center daughter dealt with a man who was beyond irate because his patio furniture delivery might not make it in time for Memorial Day which, according to him, would pretty much be the end of the world. Our daughter, the widow of a man who was active duty Coast Guard when he died four years ago, managed to keep her cool. She didn't tell her belligerent customer that Memorial Day is about something other than back yard barbecues and picnics. The sacrifices made by the men and women who serve this country faithfully in the military deserve to be remembered."
My favorite author seems to love talking about her call center daughter. Always reminds me of some of the crazy and beautiful days working in a call center myself. Also reminds me of the book club ladies who are also mostly call center vets.
Happy Memorial Day week-end and as JA Jance says, remember those brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
