Several of us veterans are hosting a high-profile concert to raise mental health and post-traumatic stress awareness within the veteran and 1st responder community.
Each of us has lost close friends to suicide, which is why we are doing this.
We want to encourage veterans and 1st responders to get out and socialize. We want them to meet others who may be experiencing similar challenges and form lasting relationships and prevent suicide.
One of the ways we're encouraging them to attend is to offer them free tickets to the event. Our goal is to achieve maximum participation.
To offset the operating costs, we are relying on sponsors and donors to help us.
So join us, it's free. But we do need the community's support through donations and sponsorship.
Donate here or check out the sponsorship page for more information.

THIS EVENT IS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE E. BRUNSWICK, OLD BRIDGE AND S. RIVER VFW'S.
Our message to the veterans.
The 'founded by Special Ops band' is releasing their second album on June 23rd. Guitarists Brad Thomas, a 'unit' member and Jason Everman of Nirvana/Soundgarden, and Special Forces member have been strong supporters of the veteran community. They are sure to "ROCK" the house at the concert.
Marine Dan Clor of Weapon-X knows how to rock the concert as he's been doing it for years. He's had countless hits and collaborated with several high-profile musicians. The heavy metal sound of Weapon-X will surely get your blood pumping.
DAVE BRAY USA, another Marine, is a talented musician with a long history of musical success. He can be seen performing solo or as a band for large crowds across the country. He intends to open the concert with a dazzling and wildly entertaining performance to get the crowd excited for more.

They recently released a new single "Slinky" which has that classic 90's Seattle grunge scene sound. A perfect blend for the OIF/OEF veteran that knows the sound quite well.
Read more about lead guitarist and former "special mission unit" member Brad Thomas here. Brad was also in the Battle of Mogadishu as a Ranger, the battle made famous by the blockbuster movie Black Hawk Down.
Did you know that the other guitarist is Jason Everman, formerly of Nirvana and Soundgarden. Jason later enlisted in the Army to seek excitement and became an elite Special Forces member, aka Green Beret. It's where he met Brad Thomas and eventually formed Silence & Light. Read more about Jason Everman on Coffee of Die Magazine, the official magazine of Black Rifle Coffee Company.
Jason Everman sat down with Joe Rogan for several hours and talked about everything from playing with Nirvana and Soundgarden to being a Special Forces soldier in Afghanistan and other highly sensitive military operations.
One of their most popular songs, One Shot One Kill pays tribute to everything OIF/OEF veterans experienced on deployment. The fast-paced metal sound relates perfectly well to the combat environment many veterans know too well.
Their song "P.O.W." is a fan favorite - and one of our favorites, too. The instrumentals start off with the pleasant sound of the piano, then move on to a harder, more distinct rock and roll song, which symbolizes the simplicity of a soldier whose life becomes extreme as a prisoner of war.
Dan Clor collaborated with a female lead singer, SuVi, and together they knocked the song out of the park. An absolute crowd pleaser and perfect blend of a soft touch with a hard sound.
DAVE BRAY USA really gained popularity after his incredible rendition of Amazing Grace. If this version of the American classic doesn't get you motivated about America, nothing will.
DAVE BRAY USA is a true man of faith and can be heard across many of his original sounds, like Armor of God. In this hit song, he collaborated with fellow talented musician Jeremy Herrell and sang the Good Word.
DAVE BRAY USA proudly supports all heroes in uniform. This hit song Into The Fire is a moving tale about the plights and challenges firefighters deal with in their profession.
Charlie Zeleny has played in many of America's most famed venues like Metlife, Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall. His talent has even spanned into international venues. Check out his warm-up session video as he prepared for a concert during the 2014 Olympics in Sochi, Russia.
Charlie is a master of the art of the drum solo. Check out this incredible video to the Beatle remix.
