Music for Veterans, a local nonprofit organization, is providing “a peaceful retreat” for our veterans.
Every Tuesday night at the Salvation Army on Liberty Street in downtown Erie, local veterans all meet and practice playing their music.
Vinny Stefanelli, director of Music for Veterans, comes from a family of veterans and explained that he has always wanted to give back to veterans, especially ones that suffer from PTSD.
15 years later and Stefanelli has noticed that as good as the music is maybe the real camaraderie comes in between the songs being played.
