Woodard shares, “My own deep relationship with an 'unofficial service' dog is actually what started this whole FOR THE SENDER project: 'unofficial' because she was never trained to be certified, but 'service' because she was an incredible support to not only me but many others. So it's full-circle for me to be concluding this evolution of the FOR THE SENDER series by featuring Graham and his work with Shelter To Soldier. I'm in awe of what they are doing by saving two lives with one beautiful act, and honored to share this event with them. "

About FOR THE SENDER

FOR THE SENDER:  Love Letters from Vietnam follows Woodard’s previous FOR THE SENDER titles, Love Is (Not A Feeling) and Four letters, Twelve Songs, One Story.  After a more traditional singing career, Woodard received a meaningful letter from a fan which eventually translated to both the album and book Four letters, Twelve Songs, One Story.  Woodard quickly realized his passion was weaving personal letters into song.  A gifted storyteller himself, his albums and books share his journeys along with those he portrays.
