It was a powerful and healing day at the Durham VA. At the end of the day we heard the veterans say things to us like "You changed my life today."! 1Vet1Lov provided breakfast and lunch. Then the veterans separated with their songwriters and told their stories. We can't say enough about Martine Bullard, Jillian Thompson, Music Therapists, and Christy White, Chief of Recreation Therapy at the Durham VA. We have found that a VA is only as good as the people who work within it who are passionate about helping their veterans heal. These professionals at the Durham VA who brought in Freedom Sings USA are some of the best the VA has to offer. They were always alert and compassionate with their veterans. We want to thank them for bringing in Freedom Sings USA and Monaca Gilmore and her company 1Vet1Love for a moving experience and opportunity to help in healing those who have sacrificed alot for our way of life. They were already talking about the next retreat as we were leaving. And to some of the best songwriters in the country who have a heart and talent to give to our veterans, we say thank you. You are the best of the best!

Live from the Durham NC VA Medical Center the first day of the Freedom Sings USA retreat with veterans. Every retreat is different and we love to go work directly with the patients of the VA Medical Centers. Martine Bullard, DVAHCS, and Jillian Thompson, DVAHCS, both VA music therapists invited us to work with these veterans. Monaca Gilmore, the Director of our Trailblazers class and a wounded combat veteran, volunteered her company 1Vet1Love to be a sponsor. Because it was the VA and the veterans are in the program there it was a more intimate setting than most of our Meet and Greets. The songwriters loved actually getting to know these veterans over a meal and relaxing conversation. It was great for the veterans to be able to get to know our songwriters, Steve Dean, Bobby Tomberlin, Bill Whyte and Bill Diluigi. Don Goodman will zoom into the write in the morning. 🇺🇸🎸🎼

Great night for Encore Center for the Performing Arts at the American Legion in Elmhurst! It was a packed house to see the Freedom Sings USA songwriters honor the local veterans through their own stories and songs. The Freedom Sings team all reported a great experience and the veterans were thrilled with their experience and their songs. Staci Boyer, Navy veteran, sang her own song with Steve Dean. Other veterans participating were Donald J. Bozzi, Christine Seagrave, David Gils and Marcus J. Simonetti. Boy Scouts from Troups 82 and 117 led the Pledge of Allegiance. What a great patriotic night in Elmhurst! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💯🎶

Hot off the presses from Elmhurst, Illinois, pictures from last night's Meet and Greet with the veterans participating in the FSUSA workshop and others that were there including Cathy Richardson of Jefferson Starship who is pictured with our songwriters. Don Bozzi, one of the veterans, brought Shankle, his service dog. Shankle was named after a battle buddy. It was a great opening night for Encore Center for Performing Arts and their Community Impact Project with veterans to celebrate America 250. 🤩🇺🇸🇺🇸The Charlie Daniels Journey Home ProjectHonkyTonkSchoolFreedom Sings ArkansasCalifornia Chapter - FSUSAFreedom Sings USA Murfreesboro SessionsWUTCArts Build
