Liner Notes: Iraq War veteran talks about new compilation aimed at raising funds for service dog program
BJ Ganem was featured in Linear Notes, a Stars and Stripes newspaper series. Stars and Stripes is an American military newspaper reporting on matters concerning the members of the United States Armed Forces and their communities. Stars in Stripes interviews BJ on his involvement in the country music compilation "Warrior Life." This compilation, featuring renowned musicians, supports veterans and their families, with all proceeds going to Sierra Delta, a veteran service dog organization.
Ganem's collaboration with musician Billy Dawson began years ago when they met during a Wounded Warrior amputee football game. Their friendship grew, leading to discussions about music and patriotism. Together with renowned songwriters, they crafted songs like "God And a Dog" and "The American Way," reflecting their commitment to Sierra Delta's mission.
Throughout the interview, Ganem shared his passion for storytelling and how it has played a pivotal role in his life. He believes that sharing veterans' stories through music can bridge the gap between civilians and the military community, allowing people to better understand veterans' experiences and values.
