On this episode of Our American Stories, for veterans struggling with PTSD, stress, or simply the difficulty of quieting the mind, sometimes a guitar can provide a few hours of peace. GuitarsforVets.org pairs veterans with free guitar lessons, patient instructors, and, eventually, an instrument of their own.
Veterans and volunteers share how learning to play can build confidence, create community, and offer a welcome escape from the pressures of everyday life. Along the way, the program has provided thousands of lessons and guitars to veterans across the country. Our regular contributor, Jesse Edwards, shares the story.
