I did not write this it came from a gentelmen off another f-body website.


I got this email here at the base the other day and decided to post it here. For everything we do and what everyone else needs, they could change policy, but again look where it originated.

>Recently we asked the local TARGET store to be a proud sponsor of the

>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

>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

>Now, I'm thinking again. If TARGET can not support American Veterans,

That's kind of lousy ...

I'd suggest posting that in the lounges as well.

 

F**k Target!

 

ya, i heard of that awhile ago... i've had problems with target anyway in the past, and will not have anything to do with them anymore.... biatches!!!

 

awww gees, what a nice liberal store. I hate retail corporations

 

This reminds me of the "dont buy gas from these companies" email - had a list of gas stations that bought its gas from Iraq or something like that........turned out to be a load of BS. How do you know the person who started this email wasn't sitting in Walmart or Kmart headquarters.........

not saying its not true, I'm not going to spend time researching.......and I dont have a thing for Target.......but just don't believe all the BS you read on the "web"........especially 'chain emails'

 

Well out of all the other retail stores around here, Target always seems to have the biggest number of fukin charity people out infront of the damn store. u know, those annoying people who always ask for money then probably go buy drugs with it. so personally i dont give a **** what they except, i dont want to be hassled by anyone when im trying to shop

 

If it's true, yes that is lousy. I don't shop at Target to begin with but if I ever find myself in one, I'll be sure not to purchase anything.

BTW, this should've been posted in the lounge to begin with.

 

I just got an email back from target HQ. They said it was a hoax and they have been the unfortunate victim of someone who did not get a donation when they asked for it. They are very active in USMC toys-for-tots and the WWII memorial, so I take this as a genuine email...

 

Kinda the same thing happened to me when I was doing my Eagle project. I asked Home Depot for some donations in the form of rebar and some wire ties, to help me complete the retaining wall I was building. They said that I did not fit into their criteria of donations.
dern.
