Heal America

The Why

Throughout Vann's military career and personal experience, he has seen our United States grow further and further apart, separated by polarizing issues. While there is a myriad of topics that we can choose to focus on, dividing our country, it is essential that we recognize that the reason we are able to have these difficult conversations with our fellow Americans is because we are just that: American.

Vann's vision is to inspire a United States that is united, hopeful for a brighter future, and who believes in making individual sacrifices for one another is how we make strides towards Healing America. To be together with brothers and sisters with differing perspectives and to still show love and respect to one another and our nation, regardless of those differences.

Pillars of Healing America

Hope

We are privileged as Americans with the right to our own liberty and freedom. From that stems so hope -hopefulness for the betterment of mankind and for our fellow American. With this kind of optimism, we can find the courage to move forward in unity.

Unity

For our country to move forward together as one united nation, we need to be able to focus our energy on the same things for a period. It is about collaboration, community and communication, cooperation. We are one country, therefore, we must work as a team. When you say America, it is implied that united is included, but the only way to unity is through love and acceptance of one another - not disparaging each other through our individual differences. Instead, our differences should be celebrated! Our differences are what makes the United States of American the great team that it is.

Service

Each and everyone's life matters. Everything we do as individuals impacts our country. No person's life is too menial or less impactful than another. The president of the United States holds an incredibly impressive position, however, so does the custodian of a rural elementary school. Each of us is sacrificing something for another, and that in itself is extraordinarily poignant. We wake up to be the best that we can as human beings because we are fostering a respect for our nation and planet that will continue forward throughout generations and decades to come.
