Well you had me going until the article mentioned the Wounded Warrior Project. An organization that sees to it that 97 cents of every dollar does not go to wounded warriors but into it’s promoters pockets. No thanks, I’m not buying what you are selling.
Wounded warrior gives around 58% of the money to veterans. That’s pretty good for charities and gets it rated pretty high by the groups that monitor charities.
We stopped giving to WWP when they went through their anti-gun phase (refused to appear on a gun talk radio show) and it was determined their “giving to actual cause” dollars weren’t as high as other organizations, like The Fisher House. Who knows whether or not they’ve “evolved”, but they lost us as supporters.
The WWP topic has been discussed, here, on several threads.
FYI, here are some links to a post and thread that lists their overall rating (as well as other orgs)...

Really??? I didn’t know....got any info on this? I’ll also look into it.
Best if you check these things before you make claims which border on slander.

What, the Wounded warrior project? 97 cents of every dollar doesn’t go to the warriors? I didn’t know that. That sickens me.
