Thomas J. Curry reminds us that “members of our nation’s armed
forces and their families sacrifice much to safeguard the liberties we
enjoy. Because of the extraordinary hardships of military service,
the law provides certain protections to our servicemembers.”
Ensuring our service members receive the full protections
provided by SCRA is patriotic. The sacrifice our military continues
to make can never be repaid but we as bankers should make every
effort to support service members and their families, including
making sure they receive the appropriate level of service and
benefits this act was designed to provide. We should continuously
look for opportunities to educate our employees and service
members about the rights SCRA provides them. ■
