Almost for a certainty, DT will honor their request.

So I guess the vets connected with this group know how valuable they are. Not at all. The administration of the group turns down money that would help their people.

WISN- Keep Your Donations


I thought Trump is planning on giving money to Wounded Warriors—so why is this group refusing what they have not received? Publicity? Founder’s twitter feed had a pre-emptive post stating that he won’t take money if offered. How snarky and ungrateful!

Wow I am sure he makes a good salary with his non-profit, as sooo many of those administrators do, but I wonder if it might have been more democratic had he actually ASKED his members if they would like to participate.

Nice, founder has a whole list of accolades from mainstream and left publications. Good for him...

Honored by Esquire magazine as one of “America’s Best and Brightest” in 2004, Rieckhoff has appeared on hundreds of radio and television programs. Recent appearances include: The Charlie Rose Show, 60 Minutes, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, This Week With George Stephanopoulos, Good Morning America, Anderson Cooper 360,
Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Hardball with Chris Mathews, The NBC Nightly News, ABC World News Tonight, ABC’s documentary “To Iraq and Back: Bob Woodruff Reports,” The CBS Evening News, Hannity and Colmes, BBC World, NPR’s Morning Edition, All Things Considered, Fresh Air, Real Time with Bill Maher, Tavis Smiley and The Colbert Report.

Rieckhoff has had opinion pieces printed by the New York Times, the International Herald Tribune, Knight-Ridder and The New York Daily News, and is a regular blogger for The Huffington Post and Military.com. He has been featured in U.S. News and World Report, Newsweek, The New York Times, GIANT Magazine, Washington Post, L.A. Times, Army Times, Wall Street Journal, Reuters, The New York Post, Newsday and A.P. Rieckhoff is also the author of Chasing Ghosts, a critically acclaimed
account of his experiences in Iraq and activism on behalf of veterans, published by Penguin in May 2006.

Rieckhoff left his Wall Street job on September 7, 2001 with plans to travel and complete additional military schooling. Those plans changed dramatically on the morning of September 11.

I think it was very tacky of him to refuse—especially since he wasn’t even offered!

That's classy. I'm sure the veterans will appreciate their benefactors' virtuous, principled stand in favor of Megyn Kelly's hysterical honor.
