Testimonials
“Most of the time I can just shut off everything and go into my own world, and I just feel the notes and the harmonies of playing the guitar and how it just takes all the pain away and everything. I don’t think about anything else, it just calms me down.”
Staff Sergeant Chris Holland
U.S. Army
“It’s such a powerful tool because it helps the TBI soldier with the cognitive impairment. Learning how to strum the guitar, learning how to finger the chords, it forces that individual’s brain to rewire itself and adapt to the impairment. For my post-traumatic stress soldiers, learning how to play a song, learning these skills, helps them with the issues that they deal with when handling their post-traumatic stress.”
Lt. Col. Aaron Termain
U.S. Army (Ret.)
“It gets me feeling like I’m giving something back to my country which is extremely important. I think America owes these warriors an enormous debt and the guitar, wonderfully donated, is just a small part of helping them to heal.”
