More and more companies are stepping up to the plate and supporting troops when they are deployed. I've been in the Army National Guard for close to 20 years, and the changes I've seen in the past couple of years have been huge. I've heard of some places paying their deployed employees full pay while they are gone, or for the first 90 days. Some even provide health benefits.
It's a big change by corporate america, and I hope it keeps up!

I work at a Walmart Distribution center, and they do pay the difference in salarys and keep the benifits going for 2 years.
I have several friends in the Reservs and one was wonded pretty bad.
He was sent back to the states and when he recovered he was given a very easy job but he decided to transfer to Tenn. where he was originally from and was allowed to do so and keep his seniority.
FYI
Walmart donated $1 million to the VFW to help supply phone cards to military personnel
and $1.8 million to military family support groups.
They also work with hospitals abroad, where wounded soldiers are being treated to supply them with needed and requested items.
This does not include what the employes donated themselvs.
I can't get my scanner to copy this and I don't know how to get itin a post other than to type it.
I do have this in a letter it is not something that "I" made up.

sears is a stand up store... their stuff is a little more than you pay at wal mart but i never had problems with anything i bought from them... not as depressing as wal mart either... been buying tools from the same guy there for years... if i want to save 15 cents on a gallon of coke and stand in line behind a woman buying 40 pairs of underwear i'll go to walmart... but when i buy tools i like to pay for them in the tools section and leave by the car service door... i also like my tools to last at least 10 years or more and i never had problems with a sears tool
even growing up when we needed something mom went to sears... tools, clothes, furniture, tires and batteries for the cars
glad to know they do right by their people but i always got the feeling they did... always see the same faces working in their store and they seem happy to do their job
