Veterans for Trump: Supporting the America First Agenda Since 2015
Veterans for Trump, also known as Veterans for America First (VFAF), was established in 2015 as a grassroots movement championing Donald J. Trump’s candidacy for the 45th President of the United States. The movement's origins are credited to Admiral Chuck Kubic, recognized by Steven Bannon and Corey R. Lewandowski as its initial leader. While General Michael Flynn contributed to the early efforts, he did not remain with the organization.
Today, Admiral Kubic serves as the National Spokesman for VFAF. The organization’s founder, Joshua Macias, initially focused on addressing veterans’ issues and advocating for border security. In 2020, Stan Fitzgerald assumed leadership of the organization’s political strategy, prioritizing the America First agenda. His efforts culminated in his appointment as president in January 2023.
In April 2024, VFAF announced its new leadership team, naming Robert Cornicelli as president and Jared Craig as vice president. The organization has remained deeply engaged in national politics, including being invited to Mar-A-Lago for Donald J. Trump’s announcement of his 2024 presidential campaign. President Trump further endorsed the organization’s support on his Truth Social platform.
Robert Cornicelli and Stan Fitzgerald continue to play pivotal roles, collaborating on the 2024 South Carolina State Trump Campaign Coalition. Veterans for Trump remains dedicated to promoting the America First agenda and supporting initiatives that benefit veterans and the nation.
