Class act in my opinion!

This might be the first one I've seen posted and then verified by the actual poster of it's validity. Thanks!

And I'm going to Sears Soon, that's a LEADER and impressive company.

I heard about Sears doing this about a month ago, now I look for excuses to go into the city and shop at Sears. We need more companies doing the 'right' thing.

Nothin makes me happier than shoppin somewhere that supports the outdoors or supports our troops.

thats pretty cool someone actually trying to help and do the right things instead of make things worse even if it cuts a little profit from there own pockets! (ie.) the oil companies!
