SUPPORT OPERATION SONG*TM

We are reaching out to our generous communities on the Western Slope for your support with partnering with Operation Song (TM) based out of Nashville, TN to be able to bring their wonderful and talented group to Montrose, CO to be able to connect with our veterans. With our community support, Operation Song (TM) would like to bring their talented group to Montrose to help in the process of healing our veterans through music.

Operation SongTM seeks to decrease this stigma by creating a non-traditional setting for military service members, veterans, and families to engage in an alternative and creative sense of therapy through songwriting and camaraderie. Songwriting creates an opportunity to share a traumatic memory through a structured, musical outlet (Bensimon, et al, 2012; Tamplin, et al, 2016). The camaraderie achieved through Operation SongTM creates a dialogue between not only Operation SongTM personnel and the participants, but also among the participants. This sense of social inclusion has been proven to be heightened during group settings (Daniels & Boehlein, 2015). Operation SongTM programs decrease the stigma of military mental health as being a negative issue through the relationships built and the stories told. This accomplishment is not easily

achieved, but through music, the sense of closure becomes a sensory experience.

Operation Song’s (TM) mission is to empower veterans and active duty military to tell their stories through the process of songwriting. We pair hit Nashville songwriters with veterans, service members, and their families to help them process experiences and emotions related to their service. Our vision is to become the premier songwriting programs for the military community. We serve male and female veterans of all conflicts, from WWII to Korea, from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as active duty military. We have repeatedly been told by veterans, troops, therapists, family members and caregivers that this is one of the most therapeutic

experiences they have had. We are very proud of our track record of success and we are eager to take Operation Song (TM) forward to help fill the growing need for alternative therapies and services for our returning veterans. We are based in Nashville, have ongoing programs in Clarksville, Chattanooga, Murfreesboro, and Ft. Campbell, Kentucky, and sponsor events and group retreats across the U.S.
