ST. PETERSBURG, Fla - A band is striking a chord with wounded service members. "The Resilient" performed a concert at Jannus Live in St. Petersburg Friday night and they’re all about getting their mission out there.

They created The Reborn Project hoping to spread their message of hope and optimism to veterans who are still suffering. They want to empower them.

Dig deeper:

"The Reborn Project is something we’ve worked on for a number of years now," Donley said. "At its heart, it's designed to combat veteran suicide."

Fans of the band said they can offer hope by showing if these men can do this, other veterans have a shot at a future.

Donley said, "If we playing our instruments, doing exactly what we love can help someone get through something dark. That’s beautiful."
