Sears

This is an email forwarded to me, thought I would pass it on here since it deals with a different type of support for the troops than you may be use to hearing.

I assume 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.

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.

Someone who received this decided to check it out before forwarding and

sent the following email to the Sears Customer Service Department:

I received this email 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 store. 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 was cheaper at

the other store.

Here is their answer to that email......................

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.
