Dr. Moody talks with Mary Judd, co-founder and Honorary Director of SongwritingWith: Soldiers (SW:S), a non-profit organization that uses collaborative songwriting as a catalyst for positive change by offering veteran participants a unique way to tell their stories, rebuild trust, release pain, and forge new bonds. Mary’s optimistic tale is reflected in her personal mission to connect professional songwriters with military veterans to build Creativity, Connections and Strengths. Also joining the conversation are two U.S. Air Force veteran participants of the SW:S Retreat program: AnnMarie Halterman, co-founder of the non-profit organization, unitingus.org and co-writer of the song, Square Wheels; and Richard Erikson (BGen, retired), co-writer of the song, Born to Bless the Fallen—both songs were written and performed during participation in an SW:S weekend retreat session.
