Our story is simple.

One day in 2012, Darden Smith wrote a song with a veteran. The connection was so strong that he thought, What if I got more songwriters to do this?

On that same day, Mary Judd watched them work together and recognized the impact of helping veterans transform their stories into songs. She thought, What if I designed a program around these songwriting sessions?

Today, the lives of hundreds of veterans, military families, songwriters, volunteers, and countless others around the world have been changed by SongwritingWith:Soldiers

Now we have an opportunity to AMPLIFY our impact and change more lives.
