DAV Refutes ABC Report

In the wake of an ABC News report “Failing to Serve America’s Heroes on the Home Front,” Arthur H. Wilson, national adjutant of the Disabled American Veterans, has posted a rebuttal on the VA’s Web site. He wrote that “As a non-profit organization, the DAV relies upon strict ethical standards to ensure that the maximum amount of the funds contributed by a generous American public are used to directly support disabled veterans and their families.” He added that the DAV feels the ABC News report “contains incomplete and misleading information about the DAV’s fundraising efforts.” He said he was pleased that the DAV meets all the “stringent standards” of the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance.
