Guitars for the Troops Program – #116

We received the following email on Tuesday, 25 Jun 19, from one of our deployed Troops:

“Hey guys! I have recently been informed about y’alls organization through a friend that I am currently deployed with! I am a born and raised Southern Louisiana boy currently residing in the north eastern parts of xxxxxxxx as a BlackHawk crewchief. We, as a whole, at our locations do not have many things you can easily find on a larger, more established military post over seas. Heading to this deployment I decided not to get my personal guitar shipped out to my location because of the simple fact that our mail rarely finds itself to the proper destination. Therefore, my love for music and playing guitar was a self derived passion that I slowly taught myself through pure curiosity. After a few years of continuing to fall in love with acoustic guitar playing, I have found that I never realized how much playing guitar truly helped the mental side of everyday life until I found myself here, in the true “middle of nowhere”. Having said that, I am just contacting you guys to see what other information I could get about this amazing organization and what I could do to help in any way. Thank you so much for your time and I hope to hear from yall soon!”
