Wal-Mart is growing rapidly worldwide. Its U.S. operations alone account for 10 percent of all U.S. imports from China.

Military Support--Last year, Wal-Mart partnered with the Veterans of Foreign Wars Foundation (VFW) to provide more than 900,000 Communications Kits that included free phone cards, writing paper, envelopes, and more so that servicemen and women could stay in touch with loved ones. The Company also made it possible for customers nationwide to send messages through in-store kiosks to support our military men and women. We have provided millions of dollars in financial aid to military family-support organizations and worked with manufacturers to supply clothing for the wounded and special-need items for the troops.

Wal-Mart donated $6 million to help build the World War II memorial in Washington D.C. while associates and customers raised an additional $8.5 million. There are patriotic accomplishment listed on their:

Whether you shop there or not is your freedom of choice; but you have not been given the facts on Wal-mart and perhaps already you have made up your mind. I do not shop there often as I don't do big stores; but they fill the need of many consumers and so more power to them.

They also have a truth page on their site which you and others might want to take the time to read and a movie coming out against a real Left wing Moore type director for which they have hired a War Press Room to counter.

You and I, by not shopping there, are playing right into the hands of those that want to see Wal-mart suffer financial and job losses- The same Unions that controlled mainstream elections on Tuesday pumping big money in several States even down into less noticed DA elections (upstate NY for example). Therefore, considering all the support by Wal-mart to our US military and their families in this time of war; I think I will be stopping in even though I am not a fan of Mega stores (in fact I hate to shop in Mega Super stores; but will frequent Sam's Club on occasion).

What about the call for a minimum wage hike? No, I think the signs are that Wal-Mart is caving into the left these days. Policies are a changing. Therefore, let the left devour them. I'm not wasting energy if they are going to cave on a boatload of stuff.
