Military-Vehicles: Fwd: FW: Vietnam Veterans Not Worthy Of Target's Help@#?

Has anyone else seen this? Sad reading if its true that people think and feel this way. Maybe they (companies included) need to relocate to another country for a while.

Vietnam Veterans Not Worthy Of Target's Help?

By Dick Forrey, Vietnam Veterans Association.

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

arts, social actions and education."

If the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall

and the Vietnam veteran himself,

does not meet the criteria of these areas,

something is wrong at Target.

We were not asking for thousands of dollars,

not even hundreds,

but simply sponsorship 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 buying anything

at Target Stores again.

If the Vietnam Veteran does 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.

Maybe Target and other businesses will get the message.
