A few years back they turned down a gun fundraiser because it involved guns.

Thought that was od for a warrior charity. Turned me off to them.

“While we appreciate the interest in having a WWP representative on your show on Veterans Day we are not able to participate in interviews or activities with media/organizations that are related to firearms,” said Ms. Coleman in her email.

Yes...they did. That’s when I immediately checked them out, and saw how admin (high paid salaries) level they were...and began sending the mountainous amount of fundraising requests they sent me, right back...with a BIG note explaining why.

That’s another clue...if they slam you with non-stop requests, once you send them a donation.

I agree, Salvation Army is good. I also like Fisher House...where vets and their families can stay while being treated at VA’s.
