Reminder: Support SEARS this Holiday

Yearly Support Troops Reminder by Shopping Sears.
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! That's above and beyond the call folks!

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.

That's enough for me.

Is Kmart doing the same thing since Sears bought them out?

Sears didn't buy Kmart out. Kmart bought Sears out. :)

Hey, Chris--finally something we agree on. Sears' action is really admirable. Too bad we've had to fight the Bush administration to take care of veterans. I'm glad Sears is stepping in like this.

K-Marts here look pretty much like SEARS. Craftsman tools, Kenmore appliances, and the whole deal.

K-Mart pulled out of my area years ago. The only ones I see are their old haunted stores filled with the spirits of past blue light specials. :D

I wish

I wish I had one of those old empty store for a church facility! Big, well lit parking area, huge floor space, restrooms, hospitality area, high ceilings, A/C.

I hear you there. Many a time I've thought one of those old big stores would make an excellent church facility. But I've only seen one around here that was ever bought and converted into an outreach and youth center.

Much better than Bingo halls; which is what they became around here.
