I work at Safeway and am a Navy veteran who has recently discovered the many benefits available to me at the VA. The last time I was a member of a band was in 1987 while in boot camp.
I joined the band for many reasons: I wanted to perform, to make new friends, to have a healthy hobby, to socialize, to be part of something larger than myself, but primarily I needed to do something joyful just for me. After only six weeks, I can happily report, “Mission Accomplished!”
