Seems alot or no money in some of these charites isn't going to the wounded vets that deserve to be cared for. Very sad and angering.

It's reasons such as these that I volunteer time and manual help rather than money. Vets, especailly the elderly, appreciate cards, pats on the back, and ears that listen to there stories. Being that I still have a strong back, many WWII and Korean Vets like my help when I move furniture for Chapters. Sometimes it's to set up for an event. Othertimes, it's because the Chapter needed to move to a new building. Little things like that can do more than a cash donation.
