LOS ANGELES - Iraq war veteran Elliott McKenzie has been singing all his life, but says he really leaned into his talent after serving in the Marine Corps. 

"When I got out, I ended up turning to music as a form of therapy for PTSD and I ended up homeless for a little bit when I got out and music ended up saving my life and turning my entire life around," said McKenzie. 

He's cheering for the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the World Series. 

He performed the national anthem for the team in 2021.

"It was amazing, I had a great time. The Dodgers blue crew that was with me was amazing," said McKenzie. 

McKenzie will be performing the Star-Spangled Banner at the Rams vs. Saints game at SoFi Stadium on Sunday. 

"When I'm singing the national anthem, I feel peace honestly. It's an honor to be able to sing our country's song, being a veteran," said McKenzie.
