Grounded No More

This is a very hard review to write as a retired marine doctor but me must stop hate inciting in this country. And to be done in the name of a charity is quite shocking.

We must be very careful how we treat our veterans due to trigger points and high suicide rates. Know thy impact when you represent a non profit, even on personal media pages. You represent the charity you sponsor and people notice. Your behaviors must be supreme.

This charity has an admirable goal. How amazing to let our Greatest Generation, often a collectively forgotten group, soar. However with that said, I am disturbed by the recent information shared with me about racism and hate inciting spreading by one of your employees/pilots and maybe even the new CEO himself, which in and of itself is very shocking. Let me explain further.

I recently became aware of GNM through a Veteran Counseling group I donate my services and support. He is a friend of a business associate who ran an online charity fundraiser project for GNM. I donated heavily to the product outcome, and was happy to do so when I read what they do. Like I wrote before, no issues there. I would give that 5 thousand stars if i could.

Later, and as of this week, I saw several posts and received several calls from upset Veterans regarding, said employee. These posts were racist, incited hate, and made false, illegal accusations towards an innocent person. I was very confused by this since it seemed to contradict the charity's mission statement. These posts also degraded many of our current military members and our honorable fellow Americans.

In todays, "Shoot First and Ask Questions Later," we must not make negligent propaganda and Conspiracy Theory inciting posts online that can trigger violence. To be the actual representative of the charity doing so, makes this behavior even more mentally disturbing and outrageous.

Conclusion - Charity Mission- 5 stars
Racist employee/white supremacy pride posts- Zero stars

Lose the employee for a better rating.

How this charity deals with this situation will be interesting to see and closely watched by the military community. I implore them to fix it since it is such a great thing they are doing and this community should not and would not want it to stop.
