I will say that the VA Administration did help my husband a great deal with the problems he had from serving in VN...and if you are serious about wanting to do the "ROCK STAR" program...you might want to start by contacting your local VA or Veteran Outreach center and they would be able to direct you...I know personally that there are all sorts of programs set up for veterans, but most of them do not take advantage of them...BEST of LUCK to you...it is an honorable thing you are looking to do!<br />BE WELLPatricia J.

And if not guitars how about art or writing or sewing - something creative. It seems to me the soothing comes from the creating. Maybe it's realigning the brain that saw so much destruction.<br /><br />I guess you could start by volunteering at a VA hospital. Or maybe a vet center. Or maybe a music store. Or maybe just walk up to the old guy and ask him what he thinks. <br /><br />God bless you Josh. You have a big big heart. I hope your Rock Star program becomes a huge success.Merry MEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00462036349233154101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36734162168309011.post-81564082710402266472011-06-02T08:36:37.804-07:002011-06-02T08:36:37.804-07:00Josh - you are awesome.

If you're not ready to start your own, I can guarantee there is a nonprofit out there who would partner with you on this and provide the 501c3 status for funding requests. Do it. (I can also sense a CD down the road with stories about this, and/or performed by vets in support of vet causes.)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170959752291677245noreply@blogger.com
