MINNEAPOLIS, MN - This holiday season, MinneapoliMedia transforms music into meaning, with members of the VocalEssence Chorus lending their voices in honor of the men and women who stood watch for our freedoms.
On Saturday, December 27, 2025, at 10:00 AM, Christmas carols will fill the halls of the Minnesota Veterans Home Minneapolis during Christmas Caroling for Our Veterans, a holiday program rooted in dignity, remembrance, and gratitude.
These are not just carols.
These are world class voices carrying world class gratitude.
This initiative brings the healing power of music directly to those who served. When members of the VocalEssence Chorus sing, rooms change. Hearts open. Memories awaken. For veterans who carried the weight of service, these songs become a bridge back to family, faith, youth, and joy.
This is not just singing.
This is presence.
This is gratitude in harmony.
This is recognition where it belongs.
Every verse speaks what words sometimes cannot.
You are seen.
You are honored.
You still matter.
