Operation Song empowers veterans and their family members to tell their stories through the process of songwriting. Those we serve need no musical or writing skills, only a willingness to share their stories and, with the help of professional songwriters, transform them into song.
“Operation Song has changed my life, brought back something I had lost 40 years ago”
– Jimmy Ray Sells, Navy Veteran
Operation Song currently has more demand for our programs and retreats than we can fulfill. We are in the process of finding the funding, resources and staff to bring this unique, healing experience to as many as possible.
