Today, I salute Air Force Veteran Felix Ruiz. Over the last few years, Felix has let his talent shine through music, but it’s so much more than that. The music is also a lifeline for Felix. This week, Felix returned for a second time to the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival (NVCAF), held this year in Indianapolis, Indiana. He is proudly representing the Orlando VA Medical Center and showcasing not just his musical gifts, but the powerful healing potential of the arts. The former combat support specialist won gold for an instrumental guitar performance, and his trio placed first, second, and third nationally. He calls it his Grammy moment. Congratulations, Felix, and THANK YOU for your service.
