Some local musicians came together to give back to those who gave so much.
The 2nd Annual Homeless Veterans show was held on Sunday. Organizers say there are over 1,000 homeless veterans who need help in the pine tree state.
One musician who performed at the show says he's grateful for those who have served. "They've gone through a traumatic lifetime and they weren't as welcome as they should have been. We all owe them a great debt of gratitude and we really need to do what we can to help them out."
Knowles says the event raised over $1,300 in 2011 and they hope to exceed that amount this year.
All proceeds benefit the Togus Veterans Adminstration.
