VFW (Vetrans of Foreign Wars)

I always give when I see them around annually. There are a number of reasons. A lot of my great uncles, and family served in WWII, and a various other wars. These guys fought so I did not have to (methaphorically speaking).

They have more than EARNED any donation, and normally I will give them everyhing I have on me.

I remember one year, I dropped $200 on the guy, and he kept trying to give it back. I shook his hand, thanked him for his service, and just said, "You fought the war(s), so I didn't have to and I a sizable donation's the LEAST I can do".
