Vets4Music

The “Vets4Music” program is still in the state of developement with regards to determining potential sponsors and support organizations.

Vets4Music was initially founded in 2011 by a Desert Storm/Desert Shield veteran who’s vision was to promote the desires and abilities, as well as the health and welfare of military veterans through the sharing and performing of their music. Both vocalists and instrumentalists are welcomed as participants

As conceptualized, veterans of the U.S. Military would be invited to participate as mentors, students, performers, and/or performance support personnel.

Specific objectives of the Vets4Music program include:
