Sources said however, both wounded veterans, named in the lawsuits had PTSD and that's part of why they were fired from the charity. Both lawsuits only show WWP’s side, claiming the injured veterans violated their severance agreements.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - In 10 years, the Wounded Warrior Project went from non-existent to the 38th largest charity in the United States, bringing in $312 million in donations in 2014 alone.

It's a brand that has proven to be very valuable. But exactly how is the power of the Wounded Warrior brand being used?

News4Jax spoke with seven sources and only one agreed to reveal his identity for fear the charity's legal team would strike back.

Wounded Warrior Project accused of spending too little on injured soldiers “Warriors that were employees have been fired by Wounded Warrior Project,” said Carol, a woman who used to work at WWP and does not want to reveal her identity.

News4Jax sources said many of those warriors who were terminated had post-traumatic stress disorder, the same invisible wounds the charity says it strives to help warriors heal.

Sources say people have been too afraid to come forward and tell the public, until now.
