Sears Gives Troops Extra Backing

NewsMax.com's religion editor Fr. Michael Reilly notes that at least one corporate giant has pledged to go the extra mile to support our soldiers fighting in Iraq:

We've heard a great deal about "allies" who have not supported America and her troops, but have you heard about what Sears is doing for our troops?

The law requires employers to hold the jobs of reservist employees who are called to active duty, but people often lose their benefits and earn less with the military.

KDPQ, Today's Christian Radio, is reporting that Sears is maintaining all benefits, including medical insurance and bonus programs. What's more, the retail chain has promised to make up the difference in salary for all reservist employees for up to two years.

Sears has gone the extra mile to support our troops. Wouldn't it be nice if we could get congressmen like Charlie Rangel and Pete Stark to stop criticizing them?

I believe Home Depot does the same.

I will be shopping at these stores more often now.
