One idea is to see if you can contribute on a local level instead of a corp. level. Also you cant judge a whole corp. for one persons remarks. If you contribute that makes you a stock holder in the company. Start a movement with other contributers to remove the CEO for cause.

Wana bet.
My mom used to manage the Salvation army here in Sioux Falls SD.
Just one of the things they are GIVEN, is $250,000 to buy a house. not to mention the thousands a month for the rest of there life. Just for siting behind the desk doing nothing, exept enjoying being called Major.
It's the managers that do all the work. The major's just take the credit, and the big pay for it.
Do they help out the comunity, yes. but there know better then WWP or the red cross.IMHO.
like I said my mom used to run the place, here.

Wounded Warrior Foundation is separate from politics. If you only support a foundation that supports your vets when it's convenient for you, then those vets should only fight for you when it's convenient for them.

If that were the case I'd leave every last one of your asses on the field because you aren't worth my ass taking a round.
You are fairly new here, you don't know me, so take it easy! I am a disabled vet myself. I support Soldier's Angels. http://www.soldiersangels.org/

Thank You guys for all the input. When I first read this I was upset as I am an "advance guard" member giving automatic donation monthly. But after reading all the input I think I will just let it ride for now as I have seen much of the good that Wounded Warriors do and even if just over half gets there at least it is doing good for the most deserving people I know of.

I have never been in the service but have the utmost respect and admiration for all branches of the service along with first responders, police and other public servants, many of which do it on a volunteer basis.

Carver, I'm sorry for the way that came out. Entirely too offensive.
