My mom ran into that situation a few years ago. After she had to take an early retirement due to medical reasons she started putting her time into charities. After a while she worked her way up far enough to see how wasteful many of them are first hand. She quit soon after . Now she is donating her time in the local community where she knows 100% of what she does is worth while.

I've also got a neighbor who's got a hell of a story involving Wounded Warrior.

It's a little sad how little I was surprised by this news today. Thanks to all of you who served. You deserve better.
