I'm retired military, & I second Col. Everett's comments. I received from AVDFLM an unsolicited coffee mug with my name on it, & made a donation. I have since received another mug, & two "cheap fleece" blankets, all unsolicited. I've made no further donations because of suspicions reinforced by Col. Everett's comments. This is merely one more organization of many with ostensibly noble objectives, which play on people's emotions for donations that handsomely support the fund-raisers, but provide pennies to support the noble cause....

I am a WW II Vet and yes have a 100% disability for life...and I total disagree the the exorbinate cost of funding this and other memorials they are trying for...Cannot understand how they justify any of their "gifts" to donors.....really do not... Sorry but I will have to have better info....before further contributionn....

I understand your desire to help disabled veterans but supporting The American Veterans Disabled for Life Memorial is not the way to do it. This organization is a rip-off. If you check their funding status you will see that the only people getting anything from this organization are the people running it. In 2005 they raised $5.6M and had expenses of $7.9M. In 2006, they raised $17M and had expenses of $15.6M. At this rate it's going to be a long time before they raise the $65M they have set as a goal for the memorial and those donating to them are getting taken. If that isn't bad enough, to encourage people to send them money, they recently mailed out thousands of "Patriotic Blankets". These cheap fleece blankets were a reproduction of the American Flag, clearly and flagrantly in violation of several portions of Section 8 of the Flag Code. I would suggest that you look for other ways to help disabled veterans....
