Celebrating the music of Veterans is one of the major pillars of the Peaceful Warriors Foundation; and with our semi-annual “Music of Veterans” compilation CD, we give Veterans the opportunity to share their musical talents with the world. The CD will be officially released on Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day. This professionally recorded, produced, orchestrated and arranged music CD highlights the songwriting and musical capabilities of some of our most gifted Veterans. At no cost to our Veterans, the PWF provides them with “Grammy Award winning” songwriters, producers, music arrangers and savvy studio musicians to assist them with professionally composing and recording their songs. For Veteran’s who already have professionally produced and recorded songs, we work with them to include their recorded material on our semi-annual “Music of Veterans” CD.

From the beat of the drum, to the call of the bugle, music has always been an integral part of the United States military. Many veterans, who served and played in military bands, continued their careers in entertainment, music and the creative arts long after their military service; contributing to the multi-textured and colorful fabric of American culture. Many of these musicians and entertainers have credited their experience of performing for the troops and the musical education they received in the U.S. military as the solid foundation that allowed them to have success in the entertainment field after leaving the military. 

The Peaceful Warriors Foundation recognizes and acknowledges the important sacrifices that Veterans have made on behalf of our grateful nation. We celebrate the achievements and contributions of these outstanding Veterans by hosting FREE Events that feature “Live” Music, Filmed Veteran Interviews and Guest Speakers honoring their service and contributions to American Culture and their communities after coming home.

We highlight the experiences of our brave American soldiers on the battlefields, and in all capacities of military life. We believe that it is the responsibility of every American community and the government officials who represent them, to remember, honor and memorialize the stories of its Veterans. We recognize our brave Veterans for their service, hoping to inspire other communities to foster closer connections and relationships with their local Veterans and their experiences—and discover the shining heroes and heroines that are within their midst.  

The Peaceful Warriors Foundation has been nominated and won a variety of awards, including Emmys and Eclipse Awards. Our  Productions range from tributes and a Salute Medal of Honor Recipient James C. McCloughan to Korean War Veteran Bobby Barnes to interviews with Veterans like Congressional Gold Medal Recipient World War II Veteran, 95 year-old Carrol Braxton.

Peaceful Warriors Foundation was the Winner of a 2020 MI-NATAS EMMY for "Left Behind in Vietnam"
