A four star general makes $203,688 per year.

The founder of Tunnels to Tower did it to honor his brother - a firefighter - who died in 9/11. Very impressive.

It's hard to judge the fairness of salaries of a President of a large charity. It is still a business. And the salary of $365,000 is in line with businesses with that revenue and reach.
Maybe low.

Whether all the high salaries are justified/necessary is questionable. But because it a charity does not mean that the executives should work for less than market.

The President of the American Heart Association gets over $3,000,000.

There are many examples of over $1,000,000 salaries.

And there are many generals employed by private industry, the media or the government that make far more than $365,000 paid to this former general.
