ST. LOUIS – From taking shelter to taking the stage, Wednesday was the first night of the Veterans Association’s Got Talent showcase. Now in its 43rd year, the event is changing lives and perspectives for those who’ve sacrificed for our country.More than helping veterans step into their creativity, local organizations are aiding in a suicide trend that’s started to decline."Sometimes you just can't say what you can sing; you just can't say what you can write; you just can't say what you can show," said Dr. Danielle Cobbs, who works in the Occupational Therapy Department for the VA."There's a camaraderie between veterans that nobody else can really understand, and we get to have that when we are here," said Marine Corps veteran Mike Vassen.From combat to camaraderie, it’s a form of expression and healing.
