Granger Smith is a country music star, but he's also so much more. His Yee-Yee brand and its leading persona...

For a man or woman to go from the brutality of combat to the vulnerable expression of creating art may seem odd or unnatural, but for many of us, whether it be making something with our hands or writing how we feel in words, self expression and vulnerability are a necessary part of healing our minds after war and injury.
