‘ROCK FOR VETS’ – MISSION STATEMENT
The Rock For Vets mission is to create a music rehabilitation program at many Veterans Administration Hospitals across the US. By offering music classes to Veterans of all ages and genders, whether they can already play an instrument, can sing or if they just have the desire to learn. Rock For Vets offers Veterans suffering from post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and other injuries, a chance to build their social skills and self confidence in a supportive and educational environment.
