a lot of money and all they do is refer vets to other organizations that are actually doing the work. He thought they were something of a sham.

Does anyone know if this is true?

Raising more money

I always advise the Vets and well wishers who have asked me to donate locally.

A quick google search will usually show a local TBI support group, veteran's addiction treatment center or home renovation projects for disabled Vets .

These are things you can see and know - Local efforts and with local people who can be accountable to their community.

I won't go as far as calling the WWP frauds, but I do feel that there are much better options.

All of this is colored by my experiences as a Trustee and Junior Vice Commander at my VFW post - I dealt with several Veteran centric Charities.

Sometimes coordinating fundraisers sometimes donating to them outright with Post money.

IMHO, WWP has cool looking T-shirts and stickers and not much presence on the ground - at least in the St Louis area.

All that said, $160 million is a nice ass check and I appreciate their gift.

If you are interested, this facility and our post have a long relationship and the Lady who runs the facility is one of the finest people I've ever met:

They can always use a check

I personally don't like WWP. My former company (a defense contractor) donated $10,000 in memory of a deceased employee asking that it be used for PTSD. The company inquired numerous times as to how the money was spent and never received a satisfactory reply. Of course I still received a lot of requests for more donations as the donation was made on my corporate purchase card that was in my name.

All we do is raise $ to pay local PTSD therapists to treat vets not
yet enrolled in the VA. Most all our volunteers are Vietnam vets
w/ PTSD, myself included.

WWP can go to hell.
