VETERANS STANDING TOGETHER ACROSS AMERICA (VSTAA) project is a nationwide campaign designed to bring Veterans, their families, and communities together for Ceremonies of History, Honor, and Healing. Each state will have its own unique American Flag, and during the ceremonies, Veterans are invited to sign the Flag’s frame with their Rank, Name, Branch of Service, Time Served, and Signature.
These ceremonies are meant to strengthen the connection between Veterans and their communities—instilling a sense of belonging and patriotism to restore purpose and connection, reducing the risk of depression, isolation, and other brain health challenges that too often lead to suicidal thoughts or actions.
VSTAA is the creation of Pisano Artistry, by U.S. Navy Chief (Ret.) Joe Pisano, in partnership with Resurrecting Lives Foundation.

The flag is the first 3-D art creation of U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer Joe Pisano, a renowned San Diego artist. The piece consists of a waving American flag bordered by a frame panel featuring signatures of veterans and their family members. The flag is comprised of more than 4,300 drywall screws and is an interactive piece for veterans - giving family members an opportunity to remember and honor the military service of their loved ones.

Resurrecting Lives Foundation (RLF) launched the Veterans Standing Together Across America (VSTAA) project at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum on November 1, 2023, and re-dedicate the project in San Diego on November 11, 2023, at Liberty Station, home of Chief Pisano’s art studio.

Ceremonial signings will be followed by a yearlong journey throughout the state to various communities to evoke praise and healing for our veterans and our communities; and to instill pride, patriotism, and unity. Each state will have the opportunity to receive a Pisano Artistry VSTAA 3D flag, created to reflect the state’s individual hallmarks, but fashioned to remind us of all that we are united under the USA Flag.
Resurrecting Lives Foundation and PISANO Artistry intend to raise the Nation's unifying consciousness and lead our struggling Veterans to the appropriate services needed for healing and a successful future.
