Has anybody heard of this organization? Its spokesperson is Patti Patton Bader, a niece of George Patton and mother of a soldier who's been to Iraq. They're mail says raising funds to send 'cooling scarves' to soldiers in Iraq and Afganistan.
I got an unsolicited beg letter a few months ago, probably because of some other vets charity that I contribute to. It asked for $15 to send a cooling scarf to one solder. It seemed to be a reasonable request for a good idea, so I sent it in. Now I've got another letter asking for 3 monthly shots (June, July, and Aug) at $19 or $25 each.
I did some poking around on the Internet and couldn't find much about this group. So I figured I'd ask the list, as some here have direct and/or indirect experience - is this a worthwhile charity for our guys overseas, or am I being suckered?
