The Disabled Veterans National Foundation has raised nearly $56 million, but vets say the money isn't helping them.

I clicked on it and it went right into Anderson Cooper talking about it. It did have a 30 seconds commercial before it started.

I know DAV is good, I am a life-time member and a member of my local American Legion. Here is a news link:

Ed, I didn't find any unusual on the PVA. I would ask how much they send on administrative costs. I think anything above 10% is getting questionable.
