Local musicians host concert to benefit veterans

Local musicians came together Sunday to help an organization that fights to end suicide among veterans.

The concert was held at Stargazers Theater and Event Center Sunday. It was to benefit 22 Until None, an organization that fights to end suicide among veterans.

“I was shocked when I found out that 22 veterans commit suicide a day. That just broke my heart,” performer Baylee Parks said.

Many of the performers are veterans themselves, and they know the struggle. They said they want to prompt others to take action.

“Let’s get these vets the help they need, the medical care they need, help them weigh through all the bureaucracy and red tape at the VA,” Rikki Dee Hall said.

He hopes other veterans take away a message too.

“Tomorrow’s another day,” he said. “Have faith.”
