Rally organizers and volunteers would like to give a special thanks + shoutout to Danny Talley and the Louisiana Chapter of Guitars4Vets for speaking at the rally.


Guitars4Vets is a nation-wide, non-profit organization that aims to help veterans cope with PTSD  through music. 


Guitars for Vets helps veterans join a community where they learn to play the guitar and find solace in the songs they love as well as the songs they have yet to write.


Talley also works with Patriot Support, another organization that helps active military, veterans, and first responders find resources for behavioral health.
