Review for Operation Silver Star, Menifee, CA, USA
went to Operation Silver Star Web site and there were no current updates or upcoming local events. Would really appreciate more promoting of local wounded warriors, and their needs as I am sure there are many. Also after looking at the facebook page, it appears the entire organization is questioning it's existance and asking for prayers in decision making??? I would think, if you want to be on the 2012 Top-Rated Nonprofits list you should be promoting events in your own area and have a large fan base via facebook. I am wondering why you would not be local on such an important day (Veterans Day) but instead are walking in an event hundreds of miles away?

samandeggs.. thank you for your review. I wish I could tell you that our organization is exclusively local however we are national as well. We see the needs for all veterans as ever-growing and just as viable as the local needs however, we are also centering our attention on local needs as well.. We asked for prayers so as to bring attention to our efforts nationally because of the enormity of the task we are facing.. the number of veterans in need require much more that we are able to handle on just the few people we have so we need others with the same heart for veterans to help us get to the level we will need to be to help those in need. We are attending the Walk to Remember in Santa Maria Ca on behalf of a Gold Star Mom for Gold Star mothers and all veterans some of who gave all for our country. I apologize for not updating the website but we are attending the Field of Honor in Murrieta Ca that weekend as well so we are trying to represent all areas as much as we can. I am sorry that you would not feel comfortable donating to an organization like ours but I hope that if you decide to look into what we are and what we would like to accomplish for our veterans you would see us differently. Just talk to us directly and maybe we will be able to show you what you are not seeing just by reading what we have on the web... thank you for time and review.. we will certainly learn from your words.. Richard De La Cruz, Chairman, Operation Silver Star
