This response will clear up the E-Mail I posted
the other day from Dick Furrey Vietnam Veterans Assoc
Dear Robert,

Thank you for contacting Target Stores to inquire about our support of
veterans.

Unfortunately, a letter has been circulating via e-mail for nearly a year
that misrepresents Target's support of veterans. Due to the nature of the
Internet and e-mail communication, this false information has been
perpetuated and modified many times by unknown writers. In fact, the
National Veterans of Foreign Wars posted a press release on their Web site
on December 6, 2002 to help clarify this issueat
http://www.vfw.org/news/target.htm

Target Corporation does support our veterans and is grateful for the
efforts of our men and women in uniform. In fact, for years Target has
donated funds and volunteer hours to local and national veteran and
military organizations around the country.

For example, Target is a sponsor of the national 2003 tour of "The Wall
that Heals," a Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund outreach initiative that
honors our veterans and has a strong educational component for schools. For
more information, please visit the Web site at
http://www.vvmf.org/travelingwall/index.html

Target Corporation also counts many veterans and military reservists among
its more than 300,000 team members nationwide. To help support these team
members, Target Corporation provides benefits for activated reservists that
surpass those benefits required by law. The Reserve Officers Association
has recognized our company for these benefits.

In addition to supporting veteran and military organizations on a national
scale, we also support local organizations, including:

Eastern Paralyzed Veterans Association in Jackson Heights, New York
Hays County Veterans in San Marcos, Texas
Kenny Nickelson Memorial Foundation for Homeless Veterans in Manhattan
Beach, California
Disabled American Veterans Auxiliaries in Allen Park, Michigan and Santa Fe
Springs, California
Yankee Air Force Museum in Ypsilanti, Michigan
Department of the Army (Fort Hood, Texas)

Target gives to diverse causesthat reflect all types of guests in a wide
variety of communities. Any non-profit organization may apply for a grant.
In general, the organization's program or service to be funded by the grant
should meet our giving guidelines related to arts, education and family
violence prevention. While every cause is worthy, Target is unable to
grant funds or partner with every organization. For more information that
describes the guidelines and the application process, visit any Target
store and ask for the grants brochure or go to target.com and click on
"Community Giving."

Thank you again for taking the time to inquire about this issue. We
wholeheartedly support our veterans and active duty personnel. We
appreciate the opportunity to personally convey our commitment to you, and
hope you will share our information with anyone who has contacted you about
this issue.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Hanson
