Dear Sirs,
My husband and I went to Sears in Christiansburg Va and brought a Craftsman riding Lawn Tractor and to my surprize Sears does not offer the Military Discount my husband is a veteran and I feel that you are dis honoring all our military past and present by not offerring a discount this is no way to treat our military both past and present Lowes gives a 20% discount to all military veterans included with the proper ID and so we will do our business with Lowes instead of Sears I am so dis appointed in Sears
Sincerely yours,

To the last poster,
I am an Active duty Soldier, and I am a bit put off by the above message. Sears has held an incredible event for several years now, of which is the “Friends and Family” event. They make this event all about the military with special discounts, deals, promotions, and really just a HUGE thank you for the armed forces. Yes, it is only once a year, but they still acknowledge it. Lowe’s offers a 10% discount year round, but does not advertise, and it must be asked for. I dont hold anything against Sears for not offering a year round discount. And, I am very appreciative of the event that they do hold. Businesses do not “owe” a discount to the military, and when ever they do we should just be grateful. I am very sorry about the above poster.
