i wanted to take the time to let you know how inspiring you are that you spend time with our wounded veterans. As a combat disabled veteran myself i know how something like that can have a positive impact on a solider as he/she goes through the healing process. I too want to be able to do just that and help my fellow soldiers heal through the power of music. So I started the first ever all combat wounded disabled band named Warrior Spirit, every member will be disabled and combat wounded and overcame a disability to play music. I have one member that has a prosthetic arm and plays guitar amazingly well .I'm currently in the process of trying to find the next member of this very unique band and help others experience the power of healing through music. We want to show the true spirit of our nations wounded warriors by showcasing their talents. As we search for the next warrior spirit member we also will take the time to tell our stories and what it took to overcome our disability and push forward with life and music. During our nationwide search and tour we would love to spend time with those that just began their journey at the hospitals and Warrior Transition Units around the services. We can take that time to display our talents and give the gift of music and show how we can be inspiring for others. The road starts the day the soldier gets injured and Warrior Spirit wants to walk that road beside those that gave so much as we did for our country. Through sponsors we can give much needed comfort items and maybe an instrument or two to help start the healing through the power of music! Thanks for the inspiration and support of our troops!!!
