Some Minnesota veterans were treated to some healing sounds on Wednesday.    

At the VA Health Care System hospital in Minneapolis, a special sound filled the halls. The Naval Aviation Alumni Choir was there to honor their fellow veterans through song.

The choir has a rich history, dating back to 1949. In 2002, it was disbanded, but 13 years later, members reconvened.

Choir director and Minnesota native David Carlson helped lead the effort.

"After we struck a chord or two, I said we can still do this," said Carlson.

The choir performs shows across the country, even performing at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

But the real honor is performing with and for those who share the title of veteran.

"I feel like we went through flight training together so we share that kind of camaraderie, but we also just love to harmonize and we love to sing for audiences, especially a place like this," said one choir member.

"When we sing their respective service songs, and you see a guy in a wheelchair struggling to stand up, yeah, that makes a difference," said Carlson.
