Wisconsin Veterans Village

VETS & FRETS

Healing Through Music. Building Community.
A Wisconsin Veterans Village Association Program
“One chord at a time. One veteran at a time.”

Why Music?
Music has an incredible ability to reduce stress, improve mood, stimulate memory, and build lasting friendships.
For many veterans, picking up a guitar becomes more than learning an instrument—it becomes a path toward healing.
Whether you’ve never held a guitar or have been playing for years…
You belong here.
