Thank You for Supporting U.S. Military Troops, Sears

I wouldn't be surprised if this program is discontinued in the near
future with the war going on along with the economic downturn.

Thank you to all the companies that support our troops, Sears is one
of many. To all Men and Women in the Service and their families, Thank
You too, many of us pray and appreciate your efforts and sacrifices.

Come home safe and quickly!

Too bad my brother doesn't work for Sears. He's an Army reservist and
is being deployed to Afghanistan in January 2009. When he comes back,
he will definitely be out of a job as his company is facing massive
layoffs and perhaps won't even be around.

For those who aren't aware: Sears will pay a deployed military
employee the difference between their military pay and their Sears
salary, so the employee doesn't lose out on any income.

In addition, Sears continues to provide full medical coverage/benefits
for the deployed service person and his/her family, I believe at no
additional cost to the serviceperson, so his/her family back home
doesn't have any disruptions in medical care, health insurance
coverage, switching clinics, etc.

And as our government has ramped up deployment for National Guard
members and reservists, Sears has picked up the slack for those people
as well, continuing to provide the same financial support.

I know it doesn't make things better when Sears can't seem to get an
appliance properly delivered, installed, or repaired, but at least
it's something, eh?

I didn't know that they did this. Thanks for posting - this makes me
want to go over to Sears and support the store.

I agree! And it's costing Sears a FORTUNE to do this (now that
National Guard/Reservists are serving in combat positions, Sears's
burden is even greater).
