Tax day, April 15, was looming when an elderly woman showed up at the IRS.
She said she required a thick stack of tax forms.
โWhy so many?โ the clerk asked.
โMy son is stationed overseas,โ she said.
โHe asked me to pick up forms for the Marines on the base.โ โYou shouldnโt have to do this,โ the clerk told her.
โItโs the base commanderโs job to make sure that his troops have access to the forms they need.โ โI know,โ said the woman.
โIโm the base commanderโs mother.โ
