Charity lost its way

I was pleased to learn that investigations of the Wounded Warrior Project by CBS News and the New York Times resulted in the firing of the organization's top two officials ("Wounded Warrior fires execs over spending accusations," Philly.com, Friday)

Several months ago, when I received a gift blanket for making a donation, I noticed that it had been made in China. I wrote to the executive offices, suggesting that employing American veterans to make the blankets, rather than outsourcing, would be more in keeping with the organization's goals. The response was a form letter citing cheaper manufacturing costs.

That's when I knew the organization was shortsighted in pursuing its objectives.
