Have any of you seen this? Snopes confirms it. Regardless of how you feel about this war, Sears is supporting the folks that matter .. the men and women in the tanks and trucks (v. the dopes in various Washington buildings).

I'm off to Sears! .. I have always felt that their Craftsman line is both affordable and top quality. And I'm old enough to remember Ted Williams as a promoter of good quality fishing tackle at Sears (alas, those days are gone).

Our reservists are a "force multiplier" in this Nation's ability to conduct and sustain operations of the magnitude such as we are involved today. Coupled with their role (during these times) to augment our police/guard requirement to protect our homeland makes them a tremendous asset to this country. They sacrifice, like all our military members and their families, and as pointed out in this thread often bear an additional (financial) burden from the pay differential between their civilian and military jobs when called up. WAY TO GO SEARS!
