I recieved this in e-mail earlier today, and of course since I am a skeptic I went and looked it up for validation and was pleased to see it was true.

I HOPE you have all seen the reports about how Sears is treating its reservist employees who are called up? By law, they are required to hold their jobs open and available, but nothing more. Usually, people take a big pay cut and lose benefits as a result of being called up.

Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all called up reservist employees for up to two years. I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution.

I suggest we all shop at Sears, and be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement it well deserves.

Pass it on.

This is a great idea. I know I will stand behind companies who treat the troops right. Sears seems to have gone above and beyond, and I know I will make more of an effort to shop there...

I haven't been to Sears in a long time, but I suspect I'll be there soon. This is the kinda thing I feel good about. As I touched on in another thread, it ticks me off when someone sells shirts or pins or whatever telling you to buy em so you can support the troops. I know those troops won't ever see a penny out of that, I'd rather spend my money somewhere that I really know benefits them directly, so it was kinda nice to get this list.
