The Bigger Man is a poignant exploration of love, vulnerability, and emotional endurance. 

The song delves into the complex and often painful dynamics of personal relationships, capturing the internal struggles many veterans experience when reconciling their past trauma with their present lives. It reflects how unresolved emotional wounds can influence interactions with loved ones and highlights the courage required to remain open to love despite the hardships endured. 

The narrative underscores the resilience and strength veterans demonstrate—not only on the battlefield but also in navigating the challenges of intimate relationships. This ballad serves as a reminder of the human side of veterans’ journeys, inviting empathy and understanding for their emotional battles beyond service.

Ep 315: Building Community for Military-Connected Engineers

"Contemporary Hit" is an energetic and assertive track reflecting confidence, camaraderie, and resilience. Much like the close bonds veterans form through shared experiences, the song highlights the importance of support networks—“sisters” standing together and facing challenges head-on. Veterans often navigate life with fierce determination and rely on their community to overcome personal battles, including the struggles related to PTSD and reintegration into civilian life. This song mirrors that collective strength and unbreakable spirit, reminding us of the power of unity and perseverance.

Episode 70 I'll Bust your Bracket

The local chapter of Veterans for Peace will be marching in the Albany Memorial Day parade, as it has done for decades. The group is calling for immediate ceasefires in the various conflicts that the US is engaged in such as Ukraine and Gaza. Poet and veteran Dan Wilcox talks with Mark Dunlea for Hudson Mohawk Magazine.

Veterans for Peace Marching in Albany's Memorial Day Parade

This month, for Memorial Day and Military Appreciation Month, we honor our Native American veterans.

Did you know our Native people serve at the highest rate per capita of any group in the U.S.?
Yet, Native veterans also face some of the highest suicide rates, often twice the national average. 

Factors like historical trauma, limited access to culturally relevant care, and the lingering effects of service contribute to this crisis. 

For younger Native male veterans, the risk is especially high, making culturally rooted, community-based support critical. Programs that reconnect veterans to nature, culture, and tradition are helping restore hope.

I sat down with Choctaw veteran Teyler Williston, who continues his family’s legacy of service through his work in Native veteran mental health. 

His story spans generations—from his Choctaw Lighthorseman Grandpa to Teyler’s Air Force Firefighting and his role in the Choctaw Honor Guard.

S8, E6, Pt 1 “We Are Still Here”: Honoring our Native Veterans with Teyler Williston, Choctaw

In a world that’s constantly changing, there’s one symbol that still stands tall—our flag. “She Still Waves” by Wes Ryan is a powerful tribute to the men and women of our armed forces, and the enduring spirit of America. From the battlefield to the front porch, from parades to protests, Old Glory tells a story of resilience, sacrifice, and freedom. This song honors every veteran, every active duty hero, and every patriot who believes in the red, white, and blue. No matter what this country faces—she still waves.

Deuteronomy 31:6:
"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

She Still Waves

💔 Lost In Your Eyes | Toxic Love R&B x Hip-Hop Soul 💔
“Lost In Your Eyes” dives deep into the chaos of toxic love — when you're addicted to someone who’s no good for you, but every glance, every touch keeps pulling you back in.

You know the truth, but their smile says all the right things. You're stuck in the cycle — blinded by love, drowning in desire, and losing pieces of yourself in the process.

🎶 Smooth R&B vocals blended with raw hip-hop energy
🎤 For fans of SZA, Bryson Tiller, Summer Walker, Jhene Aiko

If you've ever stayed when you knew you should’ve walked away… this one’s for you.

"Warriors for Peace" is a heartfelt tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who stand strong not to wage war—but to protect peace. This inspirational ballad reminds us that true strength lies in restraint, compassion, and the hope for a world where their courage is needed not in conflict, but in calm. Written by Dr. Elliot Lach, this song honors those who keep the peace by being ready, steady, and noble.

Whether you call it peace through strength or the quiet resolve of a disciplined soul, this song celebrates our military not as fighters—but as protectors of peace.

We thank them for their service, their sacrifice, and their unwavering commitment to a more peaceful world.

Mi Mate Music – Giving Sound to Silent Struggles

Mi Mate Music is a purpose-driven creative project transforming lived experiences into powerful, emotionally charged tracks. Founded by Dennis Weston, this initiative supports individuals—particularly war veterans living with invisible injuries such as PTSD and other mental health conditions—in expressing what too often goes unsaid.

Through music, we help broken people tell their stories in ways that are honest, raw, and empowering. These tracks are more than just songs—they are lived moments, captured in sound.

Our mission is twofold: to support healing through creative expression, and to foster greater understanding of the silent battles many veterans and others endure daily. Every lyric and every beat is crafted to inspire empathy, connection, and insight into the challenges of mental health injuries.

Whether you're navigating your own journey or seeking to understand someone else's, Mi Mate Music offers a soundtrack grounded in truth, resilience, and hope.

Your support helps us continue turning real stories into music that matters.

We are dedicated to a single purpose: empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. We accomplish this by ensuring that veterans and their families can access the full range of benefits available to them; fighting for the interests of America’s injured heroes on Capitol Hill; and educating the public about the great sacrifices and needs of veterans transitioning back to civilian life.

This mission is carried forward by:

- Providing free, professional assistance to veterans and their families in obtaining benefits and services earned through military service and provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies of government.
- Providing outreach concerning its program services to the American people generally, and to disabled veterans and their families specifically.
- Representing the interests of disabled veterans, their families, their widowed spouses and their orphans before Congress, the White House and the Judicial Branch, as well as state and local government.
- Extending DAV’s mission of hope into the communities where these veterans and their families live through a network of state-level Departments and local Chapters.
- Providing a structure through which disabled veterans can express their compassion for their fellow veterans through a variety of volunteer programs.

Wreaths Across America Radio is a 24/7 internet radio station for and about our veterans, as we pursue the mission to remember, honor, and teach.
