Yes

You are correct and I stand corrected:)

Let’s just Say a Prayer for Peace and hopefully everyone can get along. Most.Annoying.Song.Ever.

I think you’re right...I checked into Salvation Army, and what he said was not accurate.

[C. Edmund Wright]

yes, I checked after Jumper’s post, and I found out it cannot be SA he’s talking about. Goodwill might be the one.

Yep. WW is a farce. There are many good veterans' charities:

I donated about 15,000 air miles I’d accumulated to WWP - which may not seem like a lot, but it was to me - and never heard word one from them.

Not enough data to really decide anything. There are a lot of "charities/fundraisers" that play off wording and which have not much to do with what they call themselves. Down in S. MS, there was a long-running organization that sent stickers with a sheriff's star on them and which asked for donations to support the local sheriffs - it turns out they were a sham and donated a minimal amount of their take to the sheriffs so they could keep on a facade of legitimacy.

If the other folks are actually supporting the wounded warriors, I would be happy that someone else is helping - if they are scams, then it is right to sue them.
