Always Let Them Know

[Guest guest]

When we've flown, we have always received delicious vegetarian meals, and

they were delivered to us along with everyone else's with no quibbling

either at the time we ordered them, or at the time of serving. Ordering

ahead of time is advised, but I'm surprised, frankly, at the treatment you

describe. Good thing to do would be to write this incident in a letter to

that company, with perhaps a sentence added to the effect that you will

certainly avoid their services in future and seek alternative

transportation.

 

I mean, let them know. Why ever not?

" First They Came for the Jews " :

By Pastor Niemoller

 

First they came for the Jews

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists

and I did not speak out

because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me

and there was no one left

to speak out for me.
