Eight
veterans and three staff members atook to the stage as
part in a musical performance for the Bethel United Methodist Church on Sunday,
May 17. The annual program dedicated to veterans was introduced by HVAF
Founding Board Member Louise Loyd.
AJ
who performed as vocalist and on the keyboard says the past 12 months have blurred together. He has
gone from living in a homeless shelter to receiving housing through HVAF to
once again booking jobs to play at clubs. He mostly enjoys performing at
churches and says his performance was meaningful because he felt appreciated by
church members.
“It was a great, yet humbling experience to be
able to present and share a special day with people who support and encourage
our success as recovering veterans, said AJ. “It was an honor to be able to
give back in a small, but significant way to wonderful people.”
