We must thank reporter Ken Amaro of WTLV, First Coast News in Jacksonville for the great stories he did at 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. last night. Ken gave us a platform to to discuss the factual inaccuracies of the CBS and New York Times reporting that led to our departure from Wounded Warrior Project, the board's mishandling of the crisis, and our concerns for the future of the organization.
This blog was created by Steven Nardizzi, former CEO of Wounded Warrior Project and Al Giordano, former COO. On March 10, 2016, we were fired by the board of the WWP in the wake of media reports about wasteful spending at the charity we had led for eight years. In the same press release announcing our firings, the Board of WWP issued findings of an independent investigation disproving the allegations contained in those media reports. Nevertheless, the media's false reporting has taken hold and and we are forced to defend ourselves and the wonderful organization and people that has done so much help our wounded veterans.
