cut n paste

> 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?

Yeah no company is that stupid!!

I personally do support some Lesbian charities. :D

pure bullshit...
Target is PUBLICALLY owned company,
US based and trades on the NYSE...

NEXT!

There's another email that usually goes around with that one about how Moses is all over the capital building, senate building, etc etc etc... it's fake too (or at least taken extremely out of context) - check Snopes.com and search for the word "moses", it comes right up.

if it was french owned, they'd rename it to Targe

If it was French-owned, it, like the Auchan's stores here in Houston would already be closed...everyone knows that the only thing the French do well is give up.

Over 80% owned by Institutional Owners and Mutual funds
