Sears Supports the men and women of the Military

[Omaha Steve]

No Link. From a trusted friend that asked me to post this here.


Before you buy at WalMart check the Sears price.

I know We need this reminder, since Sears isn't always our first choice. It's amazing when you think of how long the Iraq / Afghan war has lasted and Sears hasn't withdrawn from their commitment from their military serving employees. Could we each buy at least one thing at Sears this year?

What commitment you say?

How does Sears treat its employees who are serving in our military? 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 on active duty.

Sears is voluntarily paying the difference in salaries and maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs, for all employees who are serving.


I submit that Sears is an exemplary corporate citizen and should be recognized for its contribution. I suggest we all shop at Sears at least once this year. Be sure to find a manager to tell them why we are there so the company gets the positive reinforcement & feedback it well deserves.

I decided to check this before I sent it forward. So I sent an e-mail to the Sears Customer Service Department:


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 men and women can make. This is the "least" we can do for them. We are happy to do our part to lessen the burden they bear at this time.

1. Sorry, I don't do Sears

It's a personal thing having to do with their policies. I vowed to never shop there again, and will not. I held a Sears card for 40 yrs.
