I am a pre 9/11 VET that retired out in 1997 but because I did not enlisted after 9/11 I have been told I can not get help. I am 100% Blind VET with serve hearing lost. Also own a Corporation that own cigars shops.( We only hired Disabled VETS and returning VETS but Disabled VETS get hired first.) WWP refused donation from me also because it was smoking. Also refused boxes of quote "Christian" Christmas cards. SO I would really like to know if they are doing anything other than lining there own pockets.

I just came across this article: http://www.veteranstoday.com/2013/12/08/wounded-warriors-project-a-legal-scam/
It talks about how everything they do is contracted out and the officers each have a salary of 100k - 300k. It also talks about how out of all the funds that are donated only ~10% reach the wounded warriors.
This really bothers me because I know my wife and I have done fundraisers and donated to the WWP. Does this affect how you will donate? or where you will donate? Do you actually research the non-profits that you donate to?
I know I dont, but this will definitely make me start.
As we are coming to find out, wounded Vets are big money. Considering I'm 146% disabled, I'm trying to figure out how to tap into this.
