Wounded Warriors Project (WWP) is back, as strong as ever. This year they needed Sen Grassley to bail them out.
A little history, WWP started during the Iraq War by RWNJ’s to take the heat off of W. Operating as a non-profit 501(c)(3) they initially collected donations for Vets returning from the war zones. As donations rose, the Officers of the Organization turned it into a RW propaganda machine/money machine. From 2010 they've had problems with their books, and complaints from veterans.
They utilized “donated" time from CW star Trace Adkins as a spokesperson and it was/is heavily endorsed by the NRA, FOX, Hannity, and O’Reilly. An audit in 2012 found two checks for Adkins for $200,000. An audit in 2016 found a bank account with $245m! What non-profit has a static account with that much money in it? Additionally, veterans around the country were complaining about lack of services. High priced TV campaigns (tens of millions), embarrassingly high salaries, conventions, conferences, retreats and parties for employees really don’t help the warriors.
Help Indiana Vets – by Dean Graham
We have personally investigated Wounded Warriors and what we have learned is very disturbing.
They advertise heavily on T.V. and if you pay close attention they do not show one actual thing they have done to help a Wounded Warrior.
They show pictures and stories of Wounded Warriors and use them as a heart tugging way to solicit donations.
They have paid a famous country music singer Trace Adkins to further play on peoples emotions.
I urge everyone to call Wounded Warriors and ask them what they do for Veterans?
I urge you to ask them if they can help a wounded warrior keep their lights on today? I know they will not be able to because they do not give financial asistance to wounded warriors. WHY?
This organization is full of former Veterans Administration employees and former military personnel. They are pulling the biggest Oke Doke ever pulled on the American public.
Unfortunately they are using our Amercian Hero’s to bring millions of dollars into their huge corporation. They are the best paid non-profit ever and each one of their employees is paid a very good salary for continuing this cash cow.
WE HOPE SOMEONE WILL FINALLY INVESTIGATE THEM FOR WHAT THEY REALLY ARE AND NOT WHAT THEY CLAIM TO BE ON T.V. AND SHORT T.V. NEWS STORIES.
Below is the link to the Board of Directors for the Wounded Warriors Project, if you drill down into the resumes of these paid employees you will see they have many with ties to the Veterans Administration.

This May, Sen Grassley held meetings on WWP, the bank account only had $65m (last year was an election year???) He slapped their hands and told them to behave. Now they’re back on TV.
