From the Frontlines to Reform: John Vick and Concerned Veterans for America’s Fight for Real Change
What happens after service members take off the uniform—but still feel the calling to serve? In this powerful episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with John Vick, the new Executive Director of Concerned Veterans for America, to discuss how veterans are continuing the fight for freedom right here at home.
John shares his remarkable journey from serving overseas with the Marines and Navy to shaping public policy on Capitol Hill, managing political campaigns, and now leading a national grassroots movement. They dive into how Concerned Veterans for America is working to give veterans better access to healthcare, end endless wars through a strategy of realism and restraint, and strengthen America’s economy as a pillar of national defense.
John also talks candidly about what drew him to this mission, why veterans have one of the most credible voices in public policy today, and how CVA is empowering a new generation of citizen-leaders who have already sacrificed—and now refuse to stand on the sidelines.
This episode isn’t just about veterans—it’s about how every American benefits when we unleash the leadership, experience, and passion of those who fought for our freedoms. If you believe in protecting opportunity, strengthening our country, and giving veterans a real voice in shaping the future, you won’t want to miss this inspiring conversation.
