Sadly, scumbags like this take advantage of a public willing to give to veterans causes - most without a second thought of whether or not this cause is legitimate.

Or how much of their donation actually gets to a veteran in need.

The group I belong to, Paralyzed Veterans of America, has a national organization and local Chapters (mine being the Keystone Chapter).

While I appreciate the work our National representatives do, I tell potential donors that if they want to help local veterans, donate to a local organization.

And while I won't turn down donations to my own Chapter, I've been pointing out a cause that is becoming an epidemic for veterans.

Veteran suicide.

EVERY DAY 22 veterans commit suicide!

So I would suggest anyone looking to help veterans find out where they can help with a local veterans suicide prevention effort and donate their time.

To a veteran in crisis, having someone to talk with is worth more than money can buy.
