Free Suit to Eligible Veterans

I suggest eligible veterans check out this promotion for those in need of a new suit to help with job opportunities:
JoS. A. Bank Clothiers

I can verify this is legit and they have already started mailing out vouchers to eligible veterans. I'm not sure however how many vouchers remain.

Gary Sinise is a cool guy! He wore a uniform when he visited us overseas with a nametape of "Dan" and a rank of Lieutenant.

LOL! Of course the website is blocked from DoD computers... I will check it out when I get home thanks!

I posted about free LinkedIn job seeker status in the off Jobs Forum. A link is below. It is a good day to be a Vet!

I'll give it a shot. Haven't worn in a suit in 5 years. Never wore a good one!

Sirbloody

Thanks for this also, I will give it a shot.

colemic

I will as well, this is very cool.

SteveLord

If you don't need one, pass it onto another vet you know. Especially if he's looking for work.

Question: It says retired veteran or active. Not veterans with 4+ years?

@vanquish23 - As long as you can prove veteran status, go for it. The worst they can do is say no.

I am retired but I have the money for a suit so I will just pass it along. I saw similar stores doing it for people who have been out of work for six or more months.

I inquired on this, and its also for all recently separated veterans, not just active or retired.

While the verbiage for recently separated is technically within 3 years, I can also verify veterans were considered eligible when getting off active duty almost 10 years ago. Not sure if that was intended or not. But the program is for veteran job seekers, in need of a new suit. I doubt they would deny any veteran with proof of service (pending vouchers are remaining).

How do you confirm acceptance or not? I haven't received an email back.

gunbunnysoulja

I would expect an e-mail back from them within 48 hours or so. I know they are very busy. They provided this generic message to recipients:

Due to an extremely high volume of incoming email for our joint promotion, “Uniform of Success” with Jos. A. Bank, response times may be delayed.
The Gary Sinise Foundation is dedicated to reading each email and responding accordingly; however, we are unable to address you all as quickly as we’d like. We thank you for your patience during this busy time. Rest assured that we will contact you as we move forward through correspondence.
If you are emailing regarding the promotion, please be sure you have submitted a DD-214 (retired), a Statement of Service (active), and a copy of your photo identification (do not submit copies of your military ID). In addition, we will need your current mailing address.
Also, please limit email submissions until you have heard from a GSF Team Member as this will allow for a faster response time.
Your pals,
The GSF Team

I haven't heard anything back either...

I just put my boyfriend in for one. (He is a recently separated Navy vet). Too bad Joseph A Banks doesn't make woman's suits. Lol.

Even if he doesn't get one I still think Gary Sinise is amazing!

canoj

I don't need a suit, just here to say that Gary Sinise is a great man. He came to my base (Joint Base Elmendorf - Richardson) and to do a free concert.

I was wondering if Joseph A. Banks sold womens' suits, as I am a female veteran. However, I am fortunate enough to be able to purchase a suit, and will pass this on to some of my other veteran friends.

Did anyone ever actually hear anything back? I didn't get a confirmation, rejection, nothing. not a peep.

SteveLord

I never received anything. Nor did a buddy of mine who sent one in also around the same time. Lame.

MrAgent

Nothing back here as well. I was going to give the suit away.

redz

This reeks of phishing. I'm just saying.

colemic

Just remembered this. I sent the request in last August (2013) and didn't get a response until March 2014, that the promotion had been completed. And yes, they add your info to their db, and they will contact you in order of submission for subsequent promotions (although I haven't heard of any others.)

Did anyone on TE actually get the voucher?
