OPERATION SONG FOR GOLD STAR FAMILIES

from Veterans Radio

OVER 1,000 SONGS TO DATE The program started with weekly sessions at the VA Medical Center in Murfreesboro, TN under the supervision of a music therapist. Groups of as many as 8 veterans would tell stories about their military service and professional songwriters would transform them into song. The format gradually evolved from writing group songs to focusing on the individual veterans or service members and their experiences. Operation Song soon began sponsoring weekend retreats around the Southeast in Ft. Benning, GA, Chattanooga, TN, Little Rock, AR, Pensacola, FL, and as far away as New York City, NY. To date, Operation Song has written over 1,000 songs with veterans of WWII to those currently serving. There has never been, nor will there ever be, a charge to any veteran or family member for our services. It is our honor to serve those who have served. For More Information: www.OperationSong.org
