     Checked
  it on Snopes. It’s true. Target Stores – What a         SurpriseWasn’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 ourspring recognition event. We received the   following replyfrom the local TARGET   management:’Veterans   do not meet ourarea of giving. We only donate to the arts, social   actiongroups, gay & lesbian causes, and education.’   So   I’m thinking, if the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall andveterans 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, justa small sponsorship for a memorial   remembrance.As a follow-up, I, E-mailed the TARGET   U.S..   CorporateHeadquarters and their response was the   same…That’s   theirnational policy!!!Then   I looked into the company further..They   will not allowthe Marines to collect for ‘Toys for Tots’at any of their   stores. And during the recent Iraq deployment,they wouldnot allow   families of employees who were called up foractive duty to continue their   insurance coverage whilethey were on military service..Then as I dig   further, TARGETis a   French-owned corporation.Now,   I’m thinking again.. If TARGET cannot support American (or Canadian)   Veterans, then why should my family and I support theirstores by spending   our hard earned American (or Canadian) dollars in their stores???   And,have   their profits sent to France .Without the American (and Canadian)Vets, where would France be   today?’They, most likely would be speaking German and trading in   Deutsch Marks’ Sincerely,Dick ForreyVeterans Helping   VeteransPlease send this on to everyone you   knowto let   Target knowwe   don’t need them either ! we’re all
        in a position to reduce sales to these stores as soon as this get
        around! ! ! !….SO THERE IS POWER IN THE PEN

If you ever had a Target Card and paid off the balance – CHECK YOUR CREDIT REPORT VERY CAREFULLY!!

I just discovered that a Target Card Account which was closed after a full payment in November 2002 is still being reported on my credit report and will continue to be reported until July 2019 – A FULL SEVENTEEN YEARS AFTER CLOSING IT!!!

And any attempt to contact Target National Bank is useless as they  put you in touch minor flunkeys who give you an address to which you have write and hope that something will happen.
