We often talk about the way music has a “healing power.”

And with Veterans Day on Monday, we wanted to look into the growing number of art programs centered around helping military members.

Some Veterans learn to play guitar, while others are writing about their experiences.   

One of these programs in Wisconsin is called “Warrior Songs.”

Teri Barr talks with our friend Kelsey Miles to learn more about it. And we get a chance to hear the song written for it.

Here’s Kelsey joining Teri in the studio for Warrior Songs…
