Jimmie Allen Writes Song With Army Veteran

Jimmie Allen recently used his songwriting skills to help a U.S. Army veteran write his own song through a program called CreatiVets.

Former Master Sergeant KC Shaw travelled from his home in Baltimore to Nashville to sit down with Jimmie and a couple of other songwriters as a form of therapy, according to People.com.

Shaw has suffered a traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress along with suicidal thoughts.

Allen, whose father is a veteran, told the publication,

“We send people overseas and teach them to kill to protect yourself and your country. You can’t come back and expect things to be different without proper help.”

Their collaborative song is called “Find Me Again.”

Shaw and Allen are featured in the latest issue of People, on newsstands on Friday, February 25th.
