Retired General Michael Linnington, the CEO of WWP, receives a salary of $365K per year in compensation, and there are 12 other managers who receive more than $200K each in annual compensation. So, Linnington makes more money than any military officer has ever made in the history of our country, in addition to his military pension. By contrast, Frank Siller, the CEO of Tunnel to Towers, receives zero compensation, and none of the other managers of T2T receive any compensation at all.

I would recommend that anyone who wants to donate money to a charity, please go to "Guidestar" or "Charity Navigator" and read the charity's Form 990 to find out how they are spending the money that you donate.
The Charity Navigator site gives both of those 100% ratings, but it gives no info on Tunnels to Towers. The Tunnels to Towers spends only half as much on administration and fundraising, but neither spends as much as some so-called charities.
