TARGET STORES

by Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association

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 can not support American

Veterans, then why should I and my family 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?

Feel free to pass this along to whomever you want.

Sincerely,

Dick Forrey Veterans helping Veterans
