Amazing Issue with Target Stores



If they have a good sale in their ads, take the ad to

Walmart, where they will meet the price...............



Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association wrote.



"Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud

sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall during our

spring recognition event. We received the following reply

from the local TARGET management: 'Veterans do not meet our

area of giving. We only donate to the arts, social action

groups, gay & lesbian causes, and education.' "



So I'm thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and

veterans in general do not meet their donation criteria,

then something is really wrong at this TARGET store. We were

not asking for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, just

a small sponsorship for a memorial remembrance.



As a follow-up, I E-mailed the TARGET U.S. corporate

headquarters and their response was the same. That's their

national policy.



Then I looked into the company further. They will not allow

the Marines to collect for 'Toys for Tots' at any of their

stores. And during the recent Iraq deployment, they would

not allow families of employees who were called up for

active duty to continue their insurance coverage while

they were on military service. Then as I dig further, TARGET

is a French-owned corporation.



Now, I'm thinking again. If TARGET cannot support American

Veterans, then why should my family and I support their

stores by spending our hard earned American dollars and

to have their profits sent to France. Without the American

Vets, where would France be today?"



Sincerely,

Dick Forrey

Please send this on to everyone you know to let Target know

how AMERICAN'S feel about their non-support of America and

our support of them. Isn't it amazing how people can forget

when we support them.
