  • As Americans, we benefit from an inherited freedom that was claimed for us in the Declaration of Independence, structured for us in our Constitution, and won and protected for us by the men and women of our military. It is only through their continuing sacrifice that we enjoy freedom and continue to prosper economically under the umbrella of security they provide. Our goal is to honor these men and women with our music, gather the community in support of them and raise funds to create resources to help them heal from the wounds and scars of battle.
