Those companies that do not support America and our troops, for whatever reason, I will not support.
I will support Sears because of the e-mail I received today.
Sears - Christmas shopping has already started
I know I needed this reminder since Sears isn't always my first
choice. Amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and they
haven't withdrawn from their commitment. Could we each buy at least one
thing at Sears this year?
How does Sears treat its employees who are called up for military
duty? 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.
Decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent the
following e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:
I received this e-mail and I would like to know if it is true. If
it is, the Internet may have just become one very good source of
advertisement for your company. I know I would go out of my way to buy
products from Sears instead of another store for a like item, even if it's
cheaper at that store.
This is their answer to my e-mail:
Dear Customer: Thank you for contacting Sears.The
information is factual. We appreciate your positive feedback. Sears
regards serv ice to our country as one of greatest sacrifices our young
men and women can make. We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden
they bear at this time.

Please pass this on to all your friends. Sears needs to be
recognized for this outstanding contribution and we need to show them as
Americans, we do appreciate what they are doing for our military!!! It's
