Ask Ohio: Is the US Navy Veterans Association a “Worthy Charity?”

[white cloud]

By Bob Higgins *

Repeated calls to the Charitable Law Division of the Ohio Attorney General’s office have yielded little in the way of information about the US Navy Veterans Association (USNVA) and its enigmatic director “Commander” Bobby Thompson.

Among the many unknowns are the reasons why an organization which is under investigation in several states, whose activities have raised a thick smog of suspicion in the minds of many researchers and regulators has somehow managed to avoid attention in the Buckeye state.

By way of background, the USNVA and its officers have been the subject of a seven month investigative series by Jeff Testerman and John Martin of the St. Petersburg Times.
