I've heard of his antics as a friend of a friend. I appreciate everything he does for veterans - a hell of a lot more than most. I volunteer a ton of time through the Elks and VFW/AFL here. I don't have hundreds of thousands of dollars to donate, so I'll volunteer my time to serve them soup, play board games, talk s#it, or ogle dancing girlies with them. Their call. I'm the ride, the meal and drink buyer, or the judge in scrabble that accepts slang and hand-written words in the dictionary. If I were to tally it up over the years, it's probably about $5k between gas, meals, and beers, and about $100k in time at $10/hr. But who keeps track of that?
In your words, unless it's "hundreds of thousands of dollars," it doesn't count.
