[ applause ] thank you, jake tapper. hi, everybody. on a spring day a classically trained juilliard musician walked down the silent halls of walter reed medical center. he was there because a soldier had a dream. to play the drums again. arthur bloom didn t know how he was going to make this dream come true because while serving in iraq the soldier had lost his leg to an ied. but together they worked until the rhythm and joy turned this soldier back into the musician he loved to be. in that basic bond arthur knew that if he could fill that hospital with music then that would help them all heal. so in 2007 he started musicorps that has provided music training to hundreds of music warriors. these guys are so good they formed a band and they have played at madison square garden and the kennedy center. these soldiers are becoming whole again because arthur has filled the silence with the notes and melodies that epicoo
