Fundraiser FRAUD against Veterans...
This is a very serious problem in this country that needs to be
addressed. Many other organizations are raising money all the time "on behalf of vets". The sad truth is that most
of them take a large part of what they collect for their own agendas, with very little actually going to vets.
Recently a fellow veteran reported received a calculator and a date book
from "Disabled Veterans National Foundation" in a large yellow cardboard mailer along with a $2.50 check in his
name. He was suspicious and looked up what kind of an organization it is. After reading the CNN report below,
he threw everything he was sent into the trash!

Cape Cod Veterans Fear Fallout from Fraud Suit
Allegations of theft against officials of the Cape Cod chapter of
Disabled American Veterans Inc. have stirred the ire and concern of Cape veterans and their organizations.
"I was appalled," said Terry Clen, Dennis harbormaster, U.S. Marine Corps
veteran and member of several local veterans groups. "I hope to hell it's not true."
The state DAV filed a lawsuit in Suffolk Superior Court last month
alleging that five officials of the local chapter stole from the group over a period of several years.
In the civil complaint, the state charity accuses former Commander and
President Richard A. Trott Sr. of East Sandwich, his brother and former Director Thomas M. Trott of South Yarmouth,
former Treasurer and Clerk Luiz Gonzaga of Hyannis, former Director Wolfgang Fattler of West Barnstable and former
Director Michael Proc of Barnstable of fraudulently taking more than $125,000 from the Cape chapter of the DAV and
using it for personal expenses.
