About Justin American
Justin American is just an American.
He was born on the eastern edge of the American Midwest, in a small town next to a big town.
Justin’s military service inspired him to learn more about what it really means to “support and defend the Constitution,” the oath he took upon entry into the US military.
Now, Justin has decided to dedicate the rest of his life to teaching his fellow Americans, and those who aspire to become Americans, what the Founding Fathers’ core values, principles, and writings can teach us about living in America today.

A personal story from Richard Tatem.
On the back of my car, I have a magnetic sign that says, “how about we all be just Americans.”
On Christmas Eve 2016, I was getting ready to get in my car outside of a shopping center.
Just as I was about to get in my car, a man with black skin approached me and said, “that message on the back of your car – that’s a great message man, thank you!”
Yes, Sir – you are right – it’s about time we all learn to be “Just An American.”
— Your humble and faithful servant— Justin American.
