As Christmas shopping has already started I knew 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 Amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and they haven't withdrawn from their commitment.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 service to our country as one of the 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.

As a kid Sears was the only department store close enough for us to visit and for a time my father worked there. Then as an adult Sears refused my credit card insisting that I sign up for one of their accounts. I stayed away for about a decade, before they ceded their credit policy and their sales lines started to included more external OEMs. It is hard to forget how as kids every fall we would scan the catalog for all the gifts we hoped for, Mom and Dad must have been watching and assessing because I never remember being disappointed and very often surprised beyond my expectations. I will shop this Christmas at Sears and buy at least a few gifts, even if they do cost a little more.
Thank you pjms.
