'An Intolerable Fraud'
Money-grubbing veterans charities need better oversight.
Sunday, December 16, 2007; Page B06
ORGANIZATIONS that cynically exploit America's best impulses to help its wounded veterans give a perverse new meaning to the notion that charity begins at home.
Troubling activities by some of the nation's largest veterans charities were revealed by a watchdog group and were spotlighted Thursday in a congressional hearing. The American Institute of Philanthropy studied 29 groups and found 20 guilty of such shoddy practices as high overhead costs, high-priced solicitations and big salaries to leaders. Even well-established groups such as the Disabled Veterans Association, AMVETS National Service Foundation and the Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Foundation got F's on the institute's report card. Help Hospitalized Veterans, The Post's Philip Rucker reported, paid its founder and wife a combined $540,000 in compensation and benefits. That some groups spend as much as 91 cents of every dollar raised on fundraising is, as Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Calif.) said, "an intolerable fraud."

I called them back. They call me at least daily. They are a company that solicits donations for AMVETS. If you ever gave in the past, they will hound you forever!
someone giggled and hung up
They didn't leave a message.
American Veterans Association....at least thats what it said when I called it back.
No message left
