Darden Smith started an organization in 2010 after he had performed in a military hospital in Germany. Since then, the group has worked with soldiers who have fought in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam, and they have put together 30 retreat-style events. "What we're really doing is listening," says Smith. "We bring our skills to them. And they bring their story. And together, we collaborate and write these songs."
