State attorneys general and the Federal Trade Commission have launched Operation Donate with Honor, a nationwide law enforcement and education initiative to stop veterans-related charity fraud, including a new 90-second informational video. The group also announced more than 100 actions against charities, fundraisers and individuals, Iowa Attorney General Tom Miller said in a release. The common theme was the false promise to help veterans, including false promises to help homeless and disabled veterans, to provide veterans with employment counseling, mental health counseling or other assistance, and to send care packages to deployed service members.
