This is a quote of another post..... This was forwarded to me from a member of the Northwest Arkansas Veterans Coalition. I have heard this from others and have elected to not support this group The information below was received from the local chapter of the Military Officers Association of America, MOAA, Whom I trust to provide important update The following excerpt from Burt Prelutskys most recent MOAA column is worth a look, Burts assertions invariably hold water: I recently pointed out in an article that I thought it was obscene that the executive director of Wounded Warriors is paid well over $300,000-a-year. I also wondered how the group could afford to advertise as extensively as it does on Fox News. But, I recently received an email from Dr. Richard Stiso that exposed exactly how the charity spends the money it receives from patriotic Americans. According to Guidestar, a group that investigates charities, the Wounded Warrior Project might as well be run by the Mafia. In 2012, the WWP received an astronomical $154,958,901, with a measly $4,857,084 going out in grants to veterans’ organizations and $671,194 to individuals. That means that the group only used 3.5% of the money it received for the purpose intended. In the meantime, the Officers, Directors and Trustees hauled in $15,415,666 million, with Employee Benefits ($2,226,457), Office Expenses ($12,451,303), Travel ($4,086,509), Promotional Items ($4,055, 567) and something called Outside Services ($20,915,404) accounting for roughly 50% of what’s listed as “Overhead Expenses The CEO is paid (vice Earned) $388,000 annually plus expenses. So just in case you thought it was just the V.A. That was filled with back-stabbing traitors ripping off military veterans, you didn’t know the half of it..
