Military veterans suffering from mental, emotional and moral trauma after deployment are getting more help thanks to a new outreach effort with some of Nashville’s best songwriters.

Five country music songwriters recently sat down with five veterans, listening to them talk about their service and life struggles after returning home. Those discussions turned into five songs, which were performed publicly for the first time Thursday night at WorkPlay in Birmingham.

“We wrote with some pretty awesome vets,” said Dan Demay, one of the songwriters. “We had to listen to them and listen to our hearts at the same time. I was able to feel what they weren’t saying.”Military veterans find support through Songs of Hope from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.
