Internet Hoax Targets Target

A buddy of my husband Clifton, also an Army veteran, says he will no longer shop at Target because he received an email saying that Target doesn't support veterans. In particular, the message said Target won't allow collections for Marines "Toys for Tots" program and discontinues medical insurance for employees on leave to serve in Iraq. But worst of all, Target is owned by a FRENCH company. The horrors of it.

Clifton's buddy was duped. This bit of fiction has been going around the internet since 2002. Google "Target store ownership" and you'll find that Target is an American company and always has been (wikipedia for more info). And to discover who was behind the hoax as well as the misinformation about veterans, go to: http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/t/target-viet.htm

What a shame a reputable store has to deal with such lies and we have to pay higher prices so that Target can hire legal teams to fight the idiots of this world.
