Controversial new charity teaches veterans how to use GI bill, go to college, and get a job

DENVER — A controversial new military-focused charity organization is spending its entire budget on booklets for veterans that outlines how they can use the Post 9/11 GI Bill to go to school and later land a job, sources confirmed.

Founded by former Army Sgt. Justin Wallace earlier this year, the Warrior Transition Foundation has taken flack from some other non-profits for not investing its cash on high-cost vacations, giveaways, and one-time life experiences for veterans.

“I think the idea first came to me when I was starting my transition of out the military,” Wallace told reporters. “I’d been wounded back in Iraq. Nothing serious, but I qualified for a Purple Heart. Suddenly I had dozens of charity organizations offering me free hunting trips, sporting tickets, and even one that wanted to help combat my PTSD through a pottery workshop."
