We want to, first of all, thank our veterans for their service to our country and to welcome them home.

We also want to remind everyone that some veterans are still dealing with the after effects of battle. Not all wounds are visible and healing takes time. Please be understanding of our heroes.

Finally, let us honor these brave men and women with some of the music that has come from our veteran’s workshops.

The New Mexico Music Awards presents Therapeutic Songwriting Workshops for veterans around the state where we pair vets and songwriters to write music that expresses their experiences in the military. It can be painful, heartbreaking and sometimes even fun. Here are a few song that our vets have produced over the past few years.
