PERSIAN GULF MILITARY CRISIS PROMPTS MERCHANT RESPONSE The following letter reached our unit recently! President Bush has recently called to action our military reservists. Many of the families of these personnel will be under both personal and financial hardship during this period as they will be asked to take salaries lower than they currently earn. Commonwealth Security Systems, Inc., in an effort to support our President and the personnel who are prepared to serve our Country, will provide free monitoring for any families that are under hardship due to a member being called to active reserve. We will provide the monitoring for as long as the crisis involves that family. In addition, some families may be concerned about their security while their family member is away on active duty. If you know of a family that is in this situation, Commonwealth Security Systems, Inc. will install a basic alarm system at cur cost to pro- vide for their family's security while their family member provides for ours. In addition, we will provide free monitoring during the time that the reservist is serving our country. We are privileged to help in this small way. It in no way compares to the sacrifice others may be required to make. Sincerely, Patrick M.
