Anyway, I do remember hearing the hollowness in the voices of our dispatchers here. I could tell some were just barely holding it together. I have a lot of respect for you dispatchers. You may not be in the front lines, but you do provide a very important service. Don't let anyone tell you different. Stay safe & sane!
