What about Wounded Warriors Project? How do they rate? I've been donating to them. Is there a better Veterans asso. to donate to? Also the 100 Club of Houston?

I have been donating to Wounded Warriors Project as well, but I'm starting to be concerned about the size of their advertising costs on several news stations, Does Fox News run the ads for them at a greatly reduced fee?
