About Us
About Veteran Melodies Inc.
Our Mission
Our mission is to use music therapy to improve the mental health and quality of life of veterans living with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Through structured, compassionate, and creative music-based programs, we help veterans rediscover emotional stability, resilience, and hope.
Our Vision
A world where every veteran has access to tools that restore peace, purpose, and healing — empowering them to live healthier, more fulfilled lives.
Our Story
Veteran Melodies Inc. began as World Grace Foundation Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to serving communities with compassion and purpose.
As our programs evolved, it became clear that our deepest calling was supporting veterans — especially those facing the invisible wounds of PTSD. Through firsthand experience, we saw how music could unlock emotional expression, reduce stress, and restore a sense of connection.
In 2025, we officially rebranded as Veteran Melodies Inc. to fully reflect our mission, focus, and long-term commitment to helping veterans heal through the power of music.
Same heart. Stronger focus. Renewed dedication to those who served.
Every program we offer is rooted in respect, confidentiality, and compassion, with the goal of helping veterans rediscover purpose, build resilience, and reconnect with hope for the future.
Music has a unique ability to reach beyond words, offering veterans a safe and creative outlet to process emotions that are often difficult to express. By combining structured guidance, consistent support, and musical exploration, our programs create an environment where healing can unfold naturally, at each veteran’s own pace. What begins as learning an instrument often becomes a pathway to renewed confidence, emotional balance, and self-expression.
Our values
Our values guide everything we do at Veteran Melodies Inc. We honor the sacrifices of those who served by creating a safe and respectful space for healing.
