Some of the excerpted part suggests that it is a he said/she said situation. She admits that she got back in town the night before she was expected to show up.

"She usually worked Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays....Boler recalled being asked, not ordered, to start back at her job Oct. 17, the day after her husband left. She told her bosses that she would try to return that day but if she could not, she would definitely be back Oct. 18, she said.
When Boler returned home from Indiana on the night of Oct. 16, a few hours after leaving her husband at the airfield, she said she felt drained by the emotional ordeal and decided to return to work Oct. 18.
But on the afternoon of Oct. 17, she received a call from work telling her to come in the following day and get her things because she was being fired."

So apparently she didn't call in Monday telling them that she wouldn't be coming in.
Agreed.... I think based on the information in the article, we certainly don't have any grounds to go spamming the company with calls and emails as if it has anything to do with support for the military.
If they were expecting her back Monday and they did not plan a temp, or other staffer to cover for her, it's not a minor deal to not have a receptionist. Someone has to be sitting there.
