ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nashville, Tennessee – 13 May 2025
1. Wide of members of the color guard practicing at American Legion Post 82
2. Tight on a person watching a singer and dancers at American Legion Post 82
3. Wide of dancers practicing two-step dancing
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthew “Moose” Musquiz, veteran and member of American Legion Post 82:
"It’s really unique because it’s, uh, it’s such a blend of everybody: veterans, community members and even travelers passing through that just heard a good word about this place."
5. Wide of patrons outside the American Legion Post 82
6. Tight on marching by the color guard during a practice
7. Tight on couple’s practicing two-step dancing
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Shannon Rasmussen, the post adjutant:
"I think the moments where the big names reach out to us, probably the most important thing it does is it puts us on the radar of people who don’t know that we exist. Because somebody will find out, oh Jack White’s playing at this little American Legion post over in Inglewood. And so for us that is the most important thing because it helps us get in front of veterans who don’t know about us."
9. Tight on a signature by Jack White on the post wall
10. Tight on a poster advertising Black Keys and Hank Williams Jr. playing the American Legion Post 82
11. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthew “Moose” Musquiz, veteran and member of American Legion Post 82:
"Jason Isbell, you know, Grammy Award winner multiple times over, sitting here in this American Legion and more than willing to just shake a hand and and say a few kind words to some veterans. That was you know absolutely amazing."
12. Tight on a drum head as dancers pass by
13. Mid of a row of helmets on display in a cabinet
14. SOUNDBITE (English) August Wagner, veteran and member of the American Legion Post 82:
"I call it the island of misfit toys for a reason. I mean, it’s just everybody and anybody. It could be Navy, Army, whatever but we all give each other equal crap. And like, it’s, yeah, you you gain family members every day."
15. Wide of unit patches on a board in the American Legion Post 82
16. Tight of a color guard member practicing
17. SOUNDBITE (English) Shannon Rasmussen, the post adjutant:
"That’s really what we’re trying to promote is this idea that veterans will find a community of veterans like themselves, but also people who have never served in the military. And then it has this cool 2nd and 3rd order effect where people out in the community get to learn more about military service and what it’s all about. And it’s you know, just pretty incredible to watch it happen."
18. Mid of couples learning two-step dancing
19. SOUNDBITE (English) Jenny Kuhl, Nashville resident:
"I’ve gotten to meet some really wonderful people who I probably never would have met otherwise here and I really like that that um that part about this place. It’s really welcoming."
20. Tight on embroidered playing cards on the singer’s pants
21. SOUNDBITE (English) Jason Williams, veteran and post member:
"Transition to the civilian side is difficult. The one thing I can say is that this place has been pretty much a soft place to land."
22. Tight on singer Matt McMurry and the band The Tennessee Roundups
23. SOUNDBITE (English) Matthew “Moose” Musquiz, veteran and member of American Legion Post 82:
"Just by passing through, they end up finding out, Oh, wow this place has a great community. There’s friends that come here. There’s old and young people that come here and they want to learn more about it. And the longer they stay, the tighter knit it becomes."
