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.
