Sears -- Good Stuff

This is the second or third time I have seen similar messages. It has all signs of being on the level. I'm no fan of Sears for a number of reasons, but: From the Vietnam Helicopter Flight Crew Network list server:

I assume you have all see the reports about how Sears
is treating its reservist employees who are called up?
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.
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.
So I decided to check it out before I sent it forward.
I sent the following email to the Sears Customer
Service Department:

I received this email 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 store.
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 was cheaper at the other store.
Here is their answer to my email......................

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 young men
and women can make. We are happy to do our part to
lessen the burden they bear at this time.
