I've learned that the DAV National organization has requested that individual chapters not send direct assistance donations to assist veterans, impacted by this tragedy. Instead, National will send out a call, in one or two weeks ( ) for all chapters to send whatever funds they can to them, and they will make the donation.
My Chapter officers and membership are angry about the delay, but will use the time to set up a local fund-raiser to get additional funds from the community to add to our Chapter funds. Our Chapter is already prepared to send a sizeable donation to National as soon a the call goes out.
Every disaster has parasites who try to take advantage of the situation. I hope something bad happens to them...
