    Sears - Christmas shopping this year.

    I know I needed this reminder, since Sears isn't always my first choice. It's amazing when you think of how long the war has lasted and Sears hasn't withdrawn from their commitment. 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.

    Pass it on.

    Please pass this on . 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!!!

    Sears gets all my tool, yard tool, snow blower, paint supplies, and tons of other business. They are part of Americana for generations and like you posted, good to our vets!

    I like Sears and think it admirable that they volunteer to go beyond what is required by law. However, I am in ANG on active duty at this time and I probably make more than double of what Sears pays its average employee as an E-5, without TDY or combat increase. Also, health benefits are automatic without deductions. Just saying...

    Getting ready to leave for a day at the range but just got to say. I buy USA where and if I can. I don't smoke nothing from Cuba. When ever I have bought stuff at Harbor freight it usually does not last or breaks. I don't drink nothing from Scotland, I drink good ol American made whiskey.

    I remember going to my grandparent's home as a kid. They had a few Sears catalogs in which you could mail order cars, guns, motorcycles, but I don't remember whiskey. I think just about everything was made in the USA.
