After watching the news channel, I was appalled to find out that a majority of the money being donated to the Wounded Warrior project was being used to cater events and provide a good life for those associated with the project.

This, along with the huge salaries of the staff have been known for some time now. It seems most people just don't want to believe and they just keep on giving. http://wtkr.com/2015/04/26/how-does-the-wounded-warrior-project-spend-its-donations/

WWP RESPONSE TO FALSE NEWS REPORT:
Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) is a leader in nonprofit transparency and the public reporting of the organization’s independent financial audits. We are an open book. We owe that to those who support us and to those we serve - wounded warriors.

The chair of Wounded Warrior Project’s Audit Committee, Richard M. Jones, a prominent tax attorney and certified public accountant, is the Executive Vice President, General Tax Counsel, and Chief Veteran Officer at CBS Corporation. Mr. Jones stands by our financial statements, our reporting methods, our public filings, and our independent audits.

CBS News did not reach out to Mr. Jones prior to airing a story with false information about our finances.

Wounded Warrior Project provides more than 20 needs-specific, free programs and services to more than 83,000 wounded veterans, who we call Alumni, and more than 15,000 family support members. We are constantly expanding our services to better support warriors. We just launched the Warrior Care Network™ to help provide world-class mental health care for wounded veterans. Warrior Care Network represents a $100 million investment to ensure warriors struggling with the hidden wounds of war get the help they need. We have already committed $110 million to our long-term support initiatives – the Independence Program and Long-Term Support Trust – two programs that directly help the most severely injured veterans.
To be clear, Wounded Warrior Project is trusted by nearly 100,000 veterans, their caregivers, and family, to provide them with critical care programs and services every day. Alumni regularly praise our organization for making a life-altering impact. The demand for our services continues to grow as evidenced by the more than 1,200 new registrations we receive from the wounded each month. And, we are proud to welcome so many of our Alumni as WWP staff. Their belief in - and passion for - who we are, what we do, and why it matters, is evidenced in their very lives.

Many people like to talk about the need to support wounded warriors - the Wounded Warrior Project is actually doing it - every day and in record numbers.

We will agree to disagree. I'm proud of the work myself and my teammates do for our alumni and their families. I will continue to work hard to ensure they are honored and empowered to live the life they want.
