Gold Star Mentors is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization started in 2017 by Nashville Hit Songwriter Brett Jones.

Since 2003, seven thousand service men and women have been killed in the service of our country in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Even more alarming is 7,300 service members and veterans take their own lives each year. These tragic deaths leave spouses, moms, dads, sons, and daughters without their loved one. These deaths often lead to years of sorrow and grief that creates additional family tragedy including suicide among the surviving family members including their children. 

While we can’t heal every broken heart we do intend to bring a friend of a guitar and the gift of music to as many of these children as time and resources allow. In order to fulfill this promise we need your help.
