Little challenges in life can assume ominous proportions when you have to face them without your life partner. Having someone to call or someone watching over you can make a tremendous difference.
Consider this statement from a member of the North Carolina National Guard, employed by Insteel Wire Products in Mt. Airy, NC. “ The support I received while away on East Coast clean-up relief duty following Hurricane Floyd was incredible. My manager stayed in touch with me, my unit, and my family and provided numerous acts of support. My wife’s purse was stolen when her car was broken into. My manager purchased new locks for our home and had them installed the same day to ensure my family’s safety. He constantly made me feel that the job I was doing during the relief effort was far more important than anything I could be doing at work. One of my tasks during this tour was clean-up of a cemetery, a gut wrenching experience. Upon my return home, my manager insisted that I take time to adjust from this traumatic experience before returning to work. He is a special individual who ‘Walks the Talk’.”
One of the most significant gifts you can bestow is peace of mind.
