[BITList] Target Stores - What a surprise

[CT's]

frank
I’m surprised at you passing on this utter nonsense without researching first.
Target has nothing to do with France, is not  a French store and probably will never be.
FYI  Target Corporation (simply known as Target) is an American retailing company that was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota in 1902 as the Dayton Dry Goods Company. It has been a middle america institution for many, many years.
There was a TV documentary on last week showing photos of the Dayton Dry Goods Store in Minneapolis, the family and how the store was expanded by the Dayton brothers until the name was changed to TARGET.
I really would like to know the reasons why morons try to stir up certain people by this mis-information.....................
and then others unthinkingly pass it on.................................

                                Target Stores - What a surprise

                                Wasn't it last Christmas that Target refused to let the Salvation Army ring their bells in front of their stores?  

                                       
                                Dick Forrey of the Vietnam Veterans Association wrote.

                                '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   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 cannot support American (or Aussie) Veterans, then why should my family and I support their
                                stores by spending our hard earned American (or Aussie) dollars in their stores???  

                                And,  

                                have their profits sent to France  .  

                                Without the American (and Aussie)
                                Vets, where would  France  be today?

                                'They, most likely would be speaking German  and trading in Deutsch Marks' 

                                Sincerely,
                                Dick  Forrey

                                Please send this on  to everyone you know  
                                to let Target know  

                                we don't need them either !
