Got this from a thread over at the Roderus Custom Home Gunsmithing forum...
*BELOW IS WHAT I JUST GOT FROM MY NATIOAL GUARD UNIT VISA EMAIL*:
Target
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. " My thought: if the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall and the 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 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
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.
