I struggled after I returned from the war in Iraq, and after four years, I attempted suicide. I woke up in a VA hospital and was diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. In 2009, I began to write songs about my experiences, and a year later, I released a full-length album of these songs, which I titled “Trying to Find My Way Home.” As my music spread in the veteran community, I began to get emails, letters, and phone calls from veterans and their loved ones. They told me that my songs spoke to them, and that my music helped them. Realizing that I had found a new mission, I began to travel the country - empowering veterans, educating civilians, and speaking to anyone that would listen.
While performing at a veterans' retreat, I met a woman soldier, who had been raped while in the military. She said to me, “If I could turn my trauma into music the way you did, I believe I would find healing the way you have.” She changed my life. In that moment, Warrior Songs was born. For five years now, I have been travelling the country: doing PTSD outreach and education, and collecting the stories of the veterans I encountered as I traveled. I carried these stories and guarded them until I found songwriters who, with the respect they deserved, transformed them into song.
The album you hold in your hand is the culmination of the first five years of Warrior Songs. Forty-two veterans contributed to it through testimony, song, poem, lyric, art, and story, and I give them my thanks. For those whose paths haven't lead them to the military, I hope it gives a glimpse into what veterans deal with, each and every day. To my brothers and sisters who have been there, I hope listening reminds you that - you are not alone - PTSD is not a weakness - and we don’t leave our wounded behind. Essayons! 9/22/2016 Jason Moon Founder Warrior Songs Inc.
