Thank you. "A belated but heartfelt thank
you note, for the great afternoon you provided to our veterans residing at Alexander Nininger State Veterans Nursing Home,
in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Wednesday, July 14th, was not an ordinary day, because as soon as you began to
play and sing, that afternoon became very great. The music and singing creates a very friendly atmosphere, inviting people
to be brave and self express. On behalf of the residents, families and recreation team, I thank you again, and I hope we will
see you again in south Florida."
Oscar Correale, BS, MA, CRTS, Director Recreation Therapy
"On behalf of the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center and Voluntary/Recreation Therapy Service,
I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to you for the musical program you provided for the residents
at the Community Living Center on July 15th. The staff and veterans thank you for the wonderful program
which gave them much pleasure. All throughout the course of the year, this social interaction certainly contributes to increasing
the quality of life for our veterans. This medical center is fortunate to have people such as you, who make a difference for
our patients. Again, we wish to thank you for your compassionate interest in the hospitalized veterans' welfare. We and
the patients are most grateful for the time you take to put a smile on the faces of our hospitalized veterans."

“Now that’s compassion! Feeding
ice cream while singing. You were singing and saw a resident having trouble getting a bite of ice cream. Without missing
a beat, you helped him out, and gave him a bite of ice cream, and then, helped him with his drink! Britt, your love not
only shows through your songs, but also through your actions.”
Volunteer, VA Medical Center, Coatesville PA
"On behalf of the Hines VA Hospital patients and staff, we would
like to extend out appreciation to you for your donation of your music therapy program. Your thoughtfulness reflects the concern
that you feel for our veterans and for the service they provided to all of us while in service to our country. Without your
support, we could not provide for the smaller niceties that make hospitalization more bearable. Your thoughtfulness also reflects
the concern and compassion that our community feels for our veterans. Thank you for your continued support."
Barbara J. Hunt, MA, CVRT Chief, Voluntary Service, Hines VA Hospital, Hines, IL
“Thank you for performing at the Nebraska Veterans Home. Our goal is to provide quality entertainment
for our members...that goal was met...your performance was wonderful.” Nebraska Veterans Home, Grand Island,

"I was coming to your shows when you had that big band with you. Then I had to move
in here and I can't get out as much as I used to, but that's OK, I still get to see you, so things aren't so bad."
Resident at the Illinois Veterans Home, Quincy

around the room we couldn’t see anyone who wasn’t involved in some way. The songs lifted our spirits.”

“Mr. Small, I wanted you to know how sorry
I am that I missed your performance today. When I visited my Dad this evening, he was so excited and so happy. I haven’t
seen him this way in, well, it’s been too long. I wish I could have been there to share that experience with him; you
gave him an extra breath of life. Thank you.”
E. Loutermilch
“Your performance was both very entertaining and very powerful emotionally. I was moved to tears a
number of times just seeing the reactions of the vets as they listened to your songs. Thank you for generously contributing
the audio tapes of all your songs to our PTSD clinic. We work exclusively with combat-related stress disorders.”
