I haven't given anything to WW since they made their big brag about 
getting craft kits (like plastic glue-together cars and airplanes that I 
did when I was eight) for hospitalized veteran "therapy".  I thought 
that was a waste of (not very much) money.  There were a couple of other 
indicators--I think maybe they were the ones who were in Larry Jones 
family, whole family living high off charity "fundraiser" salaries and 
selling prayers.  I do give to DAV and VFW, sometimes to Paralyzed and 
Blinded, though I don't trust the latter two as much.  My 
next-door-neighbor was once National Commander of the DAV.  He left an 
arm in WWII, but after about 1954 made his own living as an elected 
legislator.
