Here is the e-mail message:
Vietnam
Veterans Association By Dick Forrey
We
asked our local Target store to be a sponsor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial
Wall during our spring recognition event. We received back a reply from Target
management that
"veterans
do not meet our area of giving. We only donate to the areas of the arts, social
actions, gay and lesbian causes, and education."
My
thought: If the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and veterans in general, do not
meet their donation criteria, something is wrong at Target. We were not asking
for thousands of dollars, not even hundreds, but simply sponsorship of an
endorsement for a memorial remembrance.
As
follow-up, I E-mailed the corporate headquarters and their response was the
same. Personally, I will NOT be purchasing anything at Target Stores again. If
the Vietnam Veteran or Veterans in general do not meet their area of giving,
then why should I, as a Vietnam veteran, spend my hard earned money in their
stores?
Please
pass this on to as many people as you know.
Sincerely,
Veterans
Helping Veterans (TARGET IS FRENCH OWNED WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT)
PS:
Target
will also not allow the Marines to collect for "Toys For Tots"
during the holidays.
