Well, I do not give much to charity organizations, because of the potential, destructive corruption that comes with their initial good intentions...
But the fact still remains...We have millions of Veterans that DO need a little encouragement (at the very least) to get through rough times...
It is not hard to find Veterans in need, it takes a lot to get them to open up, accept help, if they need it...It sometimes takes another Veteran to get one to open up and be amiable to folks that genuinely want to help...
It is not an easy path...For anyone...
It take patience, love of country, love of liberty, freedom, and understanding that it takes more than words sometimes to give comfort to those Veterans that are going through a challenging period in their lives...And also to know it is sometimes more than just them, it is their spouses, and extended family...
You have to look at the big picture, and not get caught up in any distractions...
That’s been my experience in supporting Veterans I have met into over the last 20 years...
What will really cook yer noodle...Most want to help, rather than recieve assistance...

Look over this fraud. UNITED STATES NAVY VETERANS ASSOCIATION. A total scam by John Cody AKA Bobby Thompson. Cody is in jail pending trial after absconding with $ millions of well intended donations. Look him up on google images with Bush McCain and Bohner. Cody was on FBI wanted list for espionage all the while he conned everyone. An army Vet and Harvard law grad. A dirt bag.
It is sad that there are groups raising money for wounded veterans when you realize that this means that the government is not providing adequately for them. There should be no need that the government should not be providing for injured war vets.
Thanks for your post!
If y'all are looking for a place to donate, give the Paul Anderson Youth Home a look. My mom was involved with them for a while. If you donate, you will get a few letters asking for more, but that's typical of any charity. But these guys are good to go.
Thanks for the info!

I use to donate to WWP but stopped last year when i discovered they did not take donations from any 2nd Amendment organizations. That was enough for me to stop donating.
Like United Way.
Just read their own reporting on where the money actually goes....Much less actually spent on troops say only 5 million out of 155 million taken in by them....read thru the 990

Another example of a war profiteer making tons of money either directly or indirectly from the lives of patriots, and taxes forcibly extracted from citizens. Too much about war is about making money at the expense of others, and not keeping us free as their mouthpieces like to tell us.
