The SongwritingWith:Soldiers catalog is a vital, growing collection of stories from contemporary military life in our country. Every song is a collaboration between a professional songwriter and a participant at our retreats.

The stories are varied. Often difficult. Always honest. Whether about combat and loss or the challenge and strength of keeping families close during and after deployment, the cathartic joy of releasing the stories through song is boundless. To do so through collaboration with a civilian is revealing—and transformative.

Sharing the songs is an important part of the SW:S outreach. We know that 81% of active-duty service members feel like the American people don’t understand the sacrifices they make.
