“He has a place in so many hearts that the stars of Nashville will never
know, no movie actor will ever find, and no playwright can fathom. Our lives are most often judged by the friends we have,
the lives we’ve touched, and the difference we made. By these standards, BRITT SMALL, is the richest man in the
world.”
Bill F. Vietnam Veteran, PA Be a friend, touch a life, make a difference.

Thank you. "A belated but heartfelt thank
you note, for the great afternoon you provided to our veterans residing at Alexander Nininger State Veterans Nursing Home,
in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Wednesday, July 14th, was not an ordinary day, because as soon as you began to
play and sing, that afternoon became very great. The music and singing creates a very friendly atmosphere, inviting people
to be brave and self express. On behalf of the residents, families and recreation team, I thank you again, and I hope we will
see you again in south Florida."
Oscar Correale, BS, MA, CRTS, Director Recreation Therapy
"On behalf of the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center and Voluntary/Recreation Therapy Service,
I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to you for the musical program you provided for the residents
at the Community Living Center on July 15th. The staff and veterans thank you for the wonderful program
which gave them much pleasure. All throughout the course of the year, this social interaction certainly contributes to increasing
the quality of life for our veterans. This medical center is fortunate to have people such as you, who make a difference for
our patients. Again, we wish to thank you for your compassionate interest in the hospitalized veterans' welfare. We and
the patients are most grateful for the time you take to put a smile on the faces of our hospitalized veterans."

Phillips, MS, Chief, Voluntary/Recreation Therapy Service
“Now that’s compassion! Feeding
ice cream while singing. You were singing and saw a resident having trouble getting a bite of ice cream. Without missing
a beat, you helped him out, and gave him a bite of ice cream, and then, helped him with his drink! Britt, your love not
only shows through your songs, but also through your actions.”
Volunteer, VA Medical Center, Coatesville PA
"On behalf of the Hines VA Hospital patients and staff, we would
like to extend out appreciation to you for your donation of your music therapy program. Your thoughtfulness reflects the concern
that you feel for our veterans and for the service they provided to all of us while in service to our country. Without your
support, we could not provide for the smaller niceties that make hospitalization more bearable. Your thoughtfulness also reflects
the concern and compassion that our community feels for our veterans. Thank you for your continued support."
Barbara J. Hunt, MA, CVRT Chief, Voluntary Service, Hines VA Hospital, Hines, IL

in here and I can't get out as much as I used to, but that's OK, I still get to see you, so things aren't so bad."

I am that I missed your performance today. When I visited my Dad this evening, he was so excited and so happy. I haven’t
seen him this way in, well, it’s been too long. I wish I could have been there to share that experience with him; you
gave him an extra breath of life. Thank you.”

the audio tapes of all your songs to our PTSD clinic. We work exclusively with combat-related stress disorders.”

“Britt,
It’s all your fault! I was late getting back to work after having lunch with my Granddad, but I didn’t care. You
began to sing and you just captivated me. I wish they had more programs like yours at the home. The others are cute and nice,
but you really touch the heart. Thanks for remembering my Granddad and making him (and me) feel very special.” J.Jones
“You are not just an entertainer doing
another show, but a real person who really cares about people. Thank you so much.”
