“Tom Burch has resigned from the Foundation and NVVF is shutting down completely, ” Kaufman wrote in an email to CNN. “All fundraising has ceased and the only thing being done is the distribution of blankets, personal care kits and related items in the warehouse.”<\/p>\n
In CNN’s original report, the watchdog group Charity Navigator gave the Foundation zero out of four stars. According to its public tax returns, called 990s, the Foundation took in $29 million over a four-year period but nearly all of it went to telemarketers and fundraisers. In one year, the charity also paid a parking garage bill of nearly $8,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Burch and Gresham both pretended to be Special Forces officers, you know, even though all they had to be was veterans of the Vietnam era – they were both legitimately Vietnam era veterans. Burch was a JAG officer for a special forces unit in Vietnam and Gresham was a company typist in West Germany. <\/p>\n
Even though he left NVVF, Burch is still a lawyer at the VA and still driving his Rolls Royce.<\/p>\n
