Subject: Target on Target

Wasn’t it last Christmas that Target refused to let the Salvation Army ring their bells in front of their stores?  

 

 

       
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=2 0meet their donation criteria,
then something is really wrong at thi s  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,
have their profits sent to France .

Without the American
Vets, where would  

France  be today?

'They, most likely would be speaking German  and trading in Deutsch Marks'

Sincerely,
Dick  Forrey

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

we don't need them either

 

Live simply
Love generously
Care deeply
Speak kindly
Leave the rest to God !!
