Yesterday afternoon Voices of a Grateful Nation and Soldiers Angels presented a multi-media stage production at the Killeen High School Auditorium entitled "Voices for Vets". I packed up the pickup with merchandise and picked up New York singer/songwriter Denise Romas in Austin and headed North for the event. Denise opened the show with her beautiful song "A Healing Angel" and our friend Marine "Buddy" (and SA laptop recipient) Melvin "Buddy Lee" Dobberteen sang a song he wrote called "A Soldier's Prayer." Several volunteer Angels came out for the event and a good time was had by all. VOGN threatens a DVD release of the show and it should be a great product and great awareness piece for SA and our newest team Voices/Angels project "Operation Soft landing". The show ended with the kids of the Boys & Girls Club of Central Texas singing "We Will Have Peace Someday" an old 1930's Texas Spiritual in an uptempo arrangement with the entire cast that brought the house down. Unfortunately, the Olympic U.S. - Canadian Hockey game (no doubt more from Toby on this subject later eh?) kept the crowd on the ice but the show was clicking the crowd enthusiastic and we made up in quality what we lacked in quanity. Here's a video of Denise performing her song "A Healing Angel".
