AMAZING ISSUE WITH TARGET

 If they have a good sale in their ads, thake the ad to
Wal*mart, 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 recieved 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 rememberance.

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 coproration.

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 Ameican 
Vets, where would France be today?"

Please send this on to everyone you know to let Targer 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.
