State Asks Veterans Fundraising Group to Turn Over Records - NewsCh...

Thanks you Jennifer Kraus and all of the staff at news channel 5 for getting this story to the public. As Chapter President of Vietnam veterans of America, Inc Chapter 953 and Commander Of Jerry Reed music City AmVets Post 1776, we thanks for helping us to get rid of this unfavorable organization that has ascended on our community.

I second Mr. Ralph Land’s comments with the only exception that "this unfavorable organization that has ascended on our community." They have NOT "ascended on our community"; they have descended to the depths of hell. May they be captured and tormented accordingly and eternally.

Few know what combat does to a man, especially a young man, who very well may be your son, his mind, his hopes, his beliefs, and future and for a SCAM artist to use donations for a self-serving endeavor is unpardonable. When a man returns from combat, he is never the same again. To love money more than men especially soldiers who fight and die for their duty, honor and country is without excuse.

If people want to donate to disabled veterans, they can go to the Corp., of their choice on *.mil.gov or see globalsecurity.org and contribute knowing that the funds will find their way to those most in need. Of these, SCAM artist "we want to remember their names no more."

Thank-you Ms. Jennifer Kraus for your diligence in shining the “light of day” on these unscrupulous cock-roach SOB’s. saepe expertus, semper fidelis, fraters aeterni.

Thanks Marine, as the leader of our legal organization I have to be carefull of what I say.
An as a combat veteran who been wounded you understand the fire in my belly when we are working hard in our communities to do the right thing and to have a group like this in our community really hurts like bullits and schrapnel hitting your body. It keep really fired up to say the least.

"Saepe expertus, semper fidelis, fratres aeterni."

This is not jargon this is our life. We will fight together or "hang alone."

Yes I too have been wounded by unfriendly fire, however this is minimal compared to the "friendly fire at home." Semper fidelis!

Call me ane we will run the son's of bitches out of town. It is disgraceful that anyone would abuse or defame a vetran. It makes me sick at the thought. However, with your efforts and mine I am sure that we cam stunch this "bravo sierra" in to a corner and then make them pay accordingly. Semper fidelis. Col. MCT.

The Vietnam Veterans have defended themselves and their country since returning. After all these years it is a shame that "some people" still force them to fight.

The organization that Ralph Land is the president of cares deeply for each and every veteran, no matter what war. I know because he went to great lenghts to help my husband in our great time of need. These guys work hard every day to do what they can to help a fellow soldier. They do not get a penny of money for themselves. When stories like this surface, it hurts everyone deeply.
