They may not be personally responsible for the mess, or maybe they do, but they are the posterboys for Freedom Alliance who organize conserts for the benefit of giving scholarships to children of fallen soldiers and give support to soldiers maimed in conflict. But this read is utter devistating for their not all too great reputation.

Money grabbing bastards is what they are!!

Read this.

Here's a quote.

According to its 2006 tax returns, Freedom Alliance reported revenue of $10, 822, 785, but only $397,900–or a beyond-measly 3.68%–of that was given to the children of fallen troops as scholarships or as aid to severely injured soldiers.
On the other hand, 62% of the money went to “expenses,” including $979,485 for “consultants” and an “advisor.” Yes, consultant/advisors got more than double what injured troops and the kids of fallen troops got. The tax forms show that “New World Aviation” got paid $60,601 for “air travel.” Was that for Hannity’s G5? Like I said, neither the charity nor Hannity is talking. And finally, that year, Freedom Alliance spent $1,730,816 on postage and shipping and $1,414,215 on printing, for a total of $3,145,031, nearly half the revenue the charity spent that year and about eight times what the injured troops and the children of fallen ones received.
That’s especially heartbreaking when you compare the hundreds of thousands consultants got and the millions spent on printing and postage to the outrageously small amounts given to wounded soldiers. In 2006, Freedom Alliance gave only $1,000 to a soldier from Bay City, Michigan, whom the charity says was in the following condition:
Face was blown up and lost sight in one eye.
And that $1,000 was relatively generous, when you consider this soldier from Romulus, Michigan, whom Freedom Alliance only gave $200:<B>
SM [serviceman] was involved in roadside bomb incident in Iraq, which caused loss of both legs and left arm.
</B>
Romulus is a mostly Black Detroit suburb, which is one of the poorest cities in Michigan and in America. Freedom Alliance gave this brave soldier roughly $67 per limb. That’s sickening.
So is the fact that this soldier, from Alexandria, Virginia, also only got $200 from Freedom Alliance:
SM was wounded in Iraq by an IED explosion. Lost right arm and severe shrapnel wounds to upper body and face.
Also appalling is the fact that in each year’s tax returns soldiers described as having brain trauma injuries, multiple amputated limbs, and severe burns over most of their bodies get a few hundred bucks each from Freedom Alliance and in almost every case, no more than $1,000.
Sick... Just sick. Using the misery of Americans who gave their lives or limbs to generate a fortune. Bah!
