**GSC COMMUNITY PARTNER THURSDAY**
Exciting news! Our longtime GSC member, Kelli Johnson, has taken on the role of Program Director for Operation Song! Recently, she teamed up with Warriors Heart in Bandera, Texas, where she worked with six incredible veterans and first responders to write powerful songs that share their unique stories.
Operation Song has been connecting with military members and families for nearly 13 years, creating over 1,300 songs that offer a therapeutic experience without being therapy. It's about sharing and healing through the power of music!
Kelli partners with Warriors Heart four times a year, and it's always a beautiful homecoming for all involved. Warriors Heart offers vital support for veterans and first responders, providing comprehensive care in a peaceful, ranch setting.
Kelli is set to return to Texas in August and November and will soon be traveling to Clayton, New York, to collaborate with North Country Troopers and support our heroes in their fifth year of partnership.
