Over the years, since the Wounded Warrior Project has grown, it has been reported what started as a good charity for wounded vets, has turned into a money maker for the CEO and his staff. I don't know if this is true or not. It's alarming to me these reports keep surfacing. Clink on the link to read the latest.

Those advertisements or PSA's, whatever you call them, certainly pull on one's heartstrings.

I think over the years, their overhead has grown. I think many others don't like that. I think they still do good things. But, I know many veterans do not think so.

COL Charles Williams, just like the VA, I think they have been great with me, but a lot don't think they're worth a hoot. I guess it depends on who you are and where you live.

I am not going to defend their actions (or at least the actions of some of the higher ups in the company) but as a charity as a whole I still support them. I am a wounded warrior project alumni and they have stood behind my family and I for the last half a decade. They call regularly, send invitations to a variety of events, seminars, treatment options and challenges. When I don't need them they check up and provide some good conversation. When I do, they are there and have went above and beyond to help my family and I through our transition.

WWP, like the VA, is corrupt in areas and could use some serious overhaul in those areas, however, the mission as a whole and the people are just, right and care.
