Here We Go Again: ‘WOUNDED WARRIOR’ CHARITY FIGHTS—TO GET RICH, Your thoughts?

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.

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.

Where do you deposit your charitable donations? I prefer the Salvation Army over the Red Cross. My experience with both organizations in Vietnam biased my view. My shock at the salaries paid to their executives (Salvation Army very little, Red Cross extravagant) solidified my bias towards the Salvation Army. Well, here we go again. I found this article and it appears accurate. (The author even apologizes for earlier errors in reporting). I suggest that we all take a step back and confirm or deny these reports conclusively before supporting Wounded Warriors. Yes, their mission statement tugs at the heart strings and I'm sure they can dredge up a beneficiary or two to make you cry. But these are some serious charges...
