Samantha Sault looks at what some companies are doing for their citizen soldiers:
Creative Healthcare Solutions "decided to make the transition [to active duty] a little less painful" for Weikert and his family, says company president Norman Stalsberg. The company not only made up the difference between his current salary and his new Army paycheck, but also provided Weikert with full benefits, a 60 GB iPod, and a number of other items. While he served on Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I), advising the operations and plans group, Creative Healthcare Solutions looked after the Weikert family. Two company executives even flew to Atlanta to take Weikert's sons to an Atlanta Thrashers hockey game, complete with personalized jerseys, autographed pucks, and their names on the scoreboard.
