Sears, one of the good guys.

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they haven't withdrawn from their commitment.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. Â 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 service 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!!!

Two thumbs up to Sears, that's above and beyond the call of duty.
