Why is there so many commercials advertising military charities?

[Hawkee]

When I watch Buzzr and METV I happen to see commercials advertising military charities such as Wounded Warriors Foundation and DAV and while it's nice to give money to honor our heroes I see these commercials get overplayed and I think that these military charities are given a lot of money for commercial airtime. Is military charities now the second popular charities next to charities like Make A Wish Foundation and Easter Seals? Or have they replaced charities such as Save The Children and others? Because I have seen more commercials for military charities than Shriners and the Susan G. Komen Foundation For Women and I think we will see more military charities do more commercials to honor our heroes

Hi, Bestie! I think that the charities can't afford to advertise on the big networks so they advertise on the smaller channels. I think we should all support those charities.
