The Salvation Army is a church. They are also private a employer. The Salvation Army thrift stores are run by the Adult Rehabilitation Centers in those communities. They hire only legal residents with proper documentation. They do not fire anyone without at least 3 reprimands. I am not familiar with the policies of the particular thrift store to which you are referring but, obviously this is about something more than just The Salvation Army. If this case ever gets to court they will probably win since they have the resources to hire some very good attorneys.

Many in Pakistan fail to understand the value of their vote. Agreed we go to the polling stations whenever we are lucky enough to have elections, but having an ink mark on our thumb does not mark the end of our civic duty. When we come out in numbers, those politicians that take Pakistanis for granted are shaken to the core. Those law enforcement agencies carry out their duty with justice. Not only the government, but the army also realizes that it becomes powerless when it is dealing with the nation as one. If we, the people, are able to wield such influence over these powerful institutions by coming together as one unit, lord save the militants if we truly unite as Pakistan.

I am currently a 3rd year med student and looking into doing a military residency. My husband is currently trying to enlist in the air force. Does anyone know what the odds are that if I do an Air Force residency my husband will be stationed in the same city? Does anyone know how best to approach this situation? Really we just want to be in the same city while I do residency and he is in the military (preferable the Air Force). Any thought or suggestions as to how best we can make this happen?

Also, a museum or university in your area with a film collection might be able to as well.
Also, you could put it up for auction on-line and see what people are willing to pay for it. Just make sure that you've go the last bid or it might be SOLD.
