National Vietnam Veterans Foundation closes doors
The worst Veteran charity, the National Vietnam Veterans Foundation, run by valor thieves J. Thomas Burch and Hans Rudolph Gresham, has shut down, according to CNN;
“Tom Burch has resigned from the Foundation and NVVF is shutting down completely, ” Kaufman wrote in an email to CNN. “All fundraising has ceased and the only thing being done is the distribution of blankets, personal care kits and related items in the warehouse.”
In CNN’s original report, the watchdog group Charity Navigator gave the Foundation zero out of four stars. According to its public tax returns, called 990s, the Foundation took in $29 million over a four-year period but nearly all of it went to telemarketers and fundraisers. In one year, the charity also paid a parking garage bill of nearly $8,000.
Burch and Gresham both pretended to be Special Forces officers, you know, even though all they had to be was veterans of the Vietnam era – they were both legitimately Vietnam era veterans. Burch was a JAG officer for a special forces unit in Vietnam and Gresham was a company typist in West Germany.
Even though he left NVVF, Burch is still a lawyer at the VA and still driving his Rolls Royce.

Awww. That’s . . . too . . . bad.
Why is it, the only image I can come up with is a loaded nail gun?
Next scam coming in 3… 2.. 1..
In an email, VA spokesman James Hutton said Burch was still employed as a staff attorney but that an internal investigation, conducted by the agency’s Office of Inspector General, was still in progress.
We’ve seen how those go. I predict no significant action taken.
Sounds like Burch is in line for a promotion.
Or at least a “valor” award!

I think he might be on leave…paid leave of course. People around workplace say he came in once or twice and vanished.
” … an internal investigation, conducted by the agency’s Office of Inspector General, was still in progress.”
Translation: The investigation is being ignored for a few years, at which time a finding of no fault will be issued.
There, fixed it for you. Think of the money I just saved the VA.
Yeah, once the money runs out in about 5 days, they’ll figure out some new way to make it happen.
I guess all their “friends” found out they were fuller of shit than a septic pumper truck.
Jack asses
What a couple of shitbags.
I can only imagine several VA attorneys are chomping at the bit to take Burch’s slot.
I wonder if MacDonald is still looking the other way?
Give their General and Regional Counsels a call and tel them what you think.
They get pissed. But remind them they can speak with you under current policy. That really gets them going.
D’s in Law School = VA employment.
My wife is getting A’s in school and has been offered a position with the VA here when she graduates from college.
Granted it is not going to be as a lawyer, but hey…
Glad to hear it.
Hopefully she can help and put some good in the VA.
That being said, most VA attorneys I have met are shitbags riding the system.
And the irony is that most of the ones I have met are former JAG folks.
Just call them up and ask them.
They are required to tell you.
State, service, bar #, etc. They get pissed and hang up the phone.
Maggots. They feel that they are above the system.
Just call Jeff Stacey at VISN 19 and ask him.
(303) 914-5810. Publicly available (though they try to hide it), by the way.
Dial 5812, 5218 and 5820 and you get some more losers in their office. Other VA attorneys. Still publicly available; you have to look, though. Hernandez and Kennedy.
Loser Central.
Tell them your thoughts as well as your opinion if they can take Burch’s position. They all have experience in the world of FOIA issues.
Gravy train….
Lawyers are just like doctors…. 50% of them graduated in the bottom half of their classes. Due to great image polishing by the Bar and the AMA, though, you would think they are all Gods gazing with wisdom upon us lesser (and lesser-paid) mortals.
Fucking cocksuckers.
Things not to think about when sucking prison cock
“Is that a cold sore? Should I just suck around it?”

” … the only thing being done is the distribution of blankets, personal care kits and related items in the warehouse.”
Maybe it also holds their dignity.
I would love to drop my load right in this dude’s face.
And Burch is the FOIA guy.
Gotta love how that works.
Maybe a certain software distributor in the DC area is looking for C-level help, especially since Elaine Ricci has been missing for so long?
Both of the assclowns need to be spending a long stretch in the hole with the BTJT and the gang.
Next thing you know they’ll try to pin it all on her.
Elaine Ricci, where art thou?

Or some innocent paralegal.
Kind of like when the Army (in it’s infinite wisdom) decided to go with the black beret.
They ordered them (the first time) from China.
Class and intelligence laced with integrity.
They (Tilley) got busted for being morons and he (Tilley) pointed the finger at some E-4 who “placed” the order. I mean, the E-4 has the Army’s “credit card” and such, right?
Yeah.
Command SGM of the Army Jack Tilley is the worst SGM I have ever seen or met.
Just a straight up non-infantry fuck that “thought” he understood and could lead.
Under his watch the Army started sliding. To the chagrin of some good folks that had to strap it on and go to war.
And he was the first to point the finger at the E-4, who, by the way, had the a”authority” of the Army to make the deal with the Chinese to purchase that ridiculous headgear..
At least he had one hand to point with and pass the buck. The other was stroking Shinseki and Wolfowitz’s shafts.
Self-serving clown
I hope when he “rolls” over, they plant a tan beret with him in his coffin.
Clown.

The only good thing in the world about turdbath is that he is not an attorney for the VA…
Could you imagine the stench of that mess ???
So this puke gets to be an attorneyfor the VA even though he is a known Stolen Valor participant ???
How in the fuck does this government even work and how do these people sleep at night ???
The people that keep him in that slot should be taken to the first or second level of hell immediately upon their death and left to rot for a few centuries…
What a pair of assholes. Fuck these oxygen thieves!
You can easily spot how full of shit someone is by how they wear their beret
Looking in the VA Global…and how is Burch still an employee I wonder…
I work on the same floor as him, not even sure he comes to work anymore.
