Perhaps worse than a scam, like a sighted person getting a white cane and sunglasses to panhandle, charities that are about profit for the owners and tips for the recipients. <BR/>While I don't know what to think about our military conflicts, I do want to thank you and your son for his service. I pray you can find peace. Hopefully you and others can get the word out to support the organizations that are supporting those in need, without taking most of the money to support themselves and their friends under the disguise of non-profit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18981789.post-6292910284923118082008-11-20T08:05:00.000-08:002008-11-20T08:05:00.000-08:00Dear Gold Star Mom,I can understand the depth of y...Dear Gold Star Mom,<BR/>I can understand the depth of your<BR/>sorrow (been there, done that)<BR/>But your bitterness and bias are <BR/>showing!

I can tell you without a doubt that the money donated to these charities IS helping wounded soldiers find happiness, peace of mind, confidence and strength. I even heard that they are keeping families together!! I heard it straight from hundreds of soldiers and their wives, children and parents that said without the support of these charities, they might not know where they'd be today.<BR/><BR/>It concerns me greatly that by damaging the reputations of these charities, we will inadvertently cause greater damage in the lives of these brave veterans. <BR/><BR/>Why are lawmakers pointing the finger at charities when if they REALLY wanted to help veterans, they would pass legislation to do so? After all, they are the ones that sent these brave souls to war in the first place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
