these guys just called me here in Ottawa . . .
I didn't answer and they left no message . . .

Yes, we are sure you do.  Any scammer can monitor this page and input an answer to give the appearance of credibility.  As the daughter of a war amp I will NOT be donating to you or any other 'organization' that uses the telephone, mail or email.  Any donations I make will be made in person or in a manner to ensure the money is reached the proper charity.  I would be absolutely horrified to learn that my money was taken by scammers in the name of our veterans.  There are good groups out there that do help veterens and especially their children.  It doesn't take a lot to check out the true charities and make donations appropriately.

They called several times, never leaving a message. I called them and left a message telling them to take me off their calling list and never call me again. We'll see...

It's a legitimate charity folks.I do not say that to encourage you to donate.Nor do I expect the calls to be less annoying to those who don't like to be solicited at home.Just to inform people that the charity is the "Memory Project".Which a a project to explore and document the experiences of veterans who served in the Canadian military.
 As the son of two WWII veterans,,I have donated to this cause.I got a tax deduction as a result of the receipt they sent me.That leaves me to conclude that it may be annoying to receive these calls,but that the charity is NOT A SCAM.
 And,for what it's worth,I believe that ALL charities are exempt from DNC legislation when they are trying to raise funds.
 But that's just me.My family history leaves me with a soft spot for veterans of all the branches of the Canadian military.As annoying as these calls can be,we owe them respect.Even when we can't afford to donate.

Unless you ask to be taken off the list forever, all call centers will only take you off for 3 months.
