Grateful to have the opportunity to help Veterans find healing through telling their story through song. Our nonprofit, Heroes United, NFP, hosts an annual retreat in partnership with The City of Marion Illinois, and Freedom Sings USA, where professional Nashville songwriters come to Marion, learn a Veteran's story, and write their song. The songs are then shared in a free public concert on the Square in Marion. The next public concert is scheduled for September 12th at 6:00 p.m. Mark your calendars!🗓️
If you want to hear the songs from the last two retreats, go to our website: https://www.heroesunitedil.org/
But wait...🛑 there's more! We recently started an ongoing local class to capture more Veterans' stories that meets at Veterans Airport of Southern Illinois - MWA every other Monday at 6:00 p.m. in the lounge/meeting room. 🎉 If you are a Veteran and want to tell your story, or just come and be a part of it, our next meeting is January 26th. They last a couple of hours. We are currently working on a song with an Air Force Veteran. If you want more info, you can message me or email us at: [email protected]
See you on the Square or at the Airport!
