Nop6. Direct assistance is better than going through a charity. Wounded warriors, for example, has huge advertising expenses that far outstrip the cost of actual help to wounded warriors. When floods hit our area the last thing we did was go through red cross. We went to the towns affected and got cash in the hands of churches.

Yep. I feel bad about that because Wounded Warriors is based in my neighborhood. They were planning on building a huge new HQ down the road. Never heard what happened to that plan. Believe it or not it was pitched as jobs coming to the area. So much for the blown to pieces vets. It was all about HQ jobs.
