I have donated to them annually since my father died in 2006 and was buried at Georgia National Cemetery. The first Christmas when I saw all the wreaths spread across the landscape meant a lot to me. Definitely an emotional issue! I never considered that they were making huge amounts of money (and creating considerable waste). I checked the BBB Wise Giving Guide, but the company failed to disclose any information so couldn't be rated. Charity Navigator gave them a rating of 75 and 3 stars. I would consider continuing to sponsor wreaths if the company would use at least half of their profits to actually helping veterans. I'm going to write them a letter based on this newsletter and see what they have to say. I will definitely donate to the suggested veteran groups instead. Thanks for bringing this matter to my attention!
