Men and women who serve the United States in the military make huge sacrifices for their country. When they return home from their tours of duties, they have various different coping mechanisms to heal from all the stresses they experienced while they served. For the four members of Voices of Service, their coping mechanism is singing.

Each of the members of the quartet are veterans who found comfort in music and in one another after serving in the military.

The group is comprised of Master Sgt. Caleb Green (the official Washington Capital’s anthem singer),  Staff Sgt. Ron Henry, Sgt. Maj. Christal Rheams, and Sergeant First Class Jason Hanna. All four of them suffered from PTSD when they returned home, and each of them had lost someone they loved while serving. When they auditioned for “America’s Got Talent,” they explained that their goal is to help those who are struggling with mental health issues.

“We want to spread a message of love and hope for everyone in America who is coping with any challenge in life to show what music can do,” they said.

As soon as the quartet began singing Katy Perry’s “Rise,” it was clear to the judges and the audience that they had something special. Everyone was moved by the performance!

Judge Gabrielle Union was on her feet well before the group finished their song, and by the end, there was not a dry eye in the house.

The Voices of Service blew everyone away, and needless to say, they were sent through to the next round. Check out their audition below, and have some tissues handy while you watch it!
