VETERANS GROUP ON "AMERICA'S GOT TALENT"

I receive a daily email newsletter from IAVA - Iraq Afghanistan Veterans Association - which provides a brief glimpse of military and veterans news from around the world and Washington, D.C. The following was in today's news' clips:

"Formerly homeless veterans from New Directions, a Los Angeles based program that offers a wide array of services, including substance abuse treatment and job training to veterans of all generations, appeared on 'America's Got Talent.' They advanced to the next round after receiving a standing ovation from the crowd and glowing reviews from the judges."

I watched the video of New Directions on America's Got Talent the clip provided. Great stories these veterans had. And their singing - no instruments - is great. The standing ovation was well earned. Watch for them in future shows. If you can pull up the video, try http://www.youtube.comwatch?v=b5z-h92h6ks
