In some ways, fraudulent charities are greater insults to the veteran and active duty community than Stolen Valor - well maybe not worse but certainly in the same ballpark. I have been stung by one of these scams. Beware! Have you been duped? Care to share your experience and maybe help your borthers and sisters avoid the traps.

Research, research. I want to know how much of what I give makes it to the needy.

Maj Robert Thornton There are also so-called "legitimate" charities that still charge fees against donated money for a service charge. I have witnessed those fees approach 90%. If I give money I want it to go to the end recipient. Maybe expenses of 5% to 10% is OK.
