I got a solicitation in the mail from the Military Order of the Purple Heart Service Foundation. They want me to donate money or cars or whatever so I looked them up on the internet. Some interesting results came up.
They did not respond to the Better Business Bureau request for rating information

They gave $685,000 to the Washington Redskins so they could get free seats at the games.

A lot of us give freely to the annual Boston Marathon fundraising on this forum, but an open heart should not mean an empty brain. Hopefully, MOPHSF can turn a corner and get their act together.
