BRACK: Wounded Warrior Project under fire for high overhead

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | People shower lots of attention on military veterans today.

Perhaps it’s because we now have an all-volunteer military. Maybe it’s because with the proliferation of media now, the average American knows more about our troops engaged in military activity all over the world. Perhaps it’s the new patriotism since 9/11. Whatever the reason, people in our country shower a lot of attention on helping veterans of the military service.
