We watched that show as well. It was a wonderful thing to watch. ABC did more for veterans and their families than most of the egocentric windbags in DC do in a year.

Last night's episode was really moving. It made me cry A LOT and I usually cry every episode *LOL* The expression on the faces of the old vets was too much. I notice Jessica Lynch is still walking with the cane too. I guess the injury is permanent after all.

I buy as much as I possibly can from Sears. As a major sponsor of the show, they do a lot of good. But what far too many people don't know is Sears' policy towards those employees who are activated Guard or Reserve service-members.

First off, Sears makes up any loss of pay for being activated for up to a full year. This also includes any in-position raises. And they make sure that the family's health benefits stay available as well.

As much as I love that show, It's still hard to believe that any network would do something that does so much good.
