We live in a moment that threatens to snuff out the sacred fire of freedom, but I believe there is still hope for America.
Hope that the courageous men and women of our time will remember what makes this nation great. Hope that there is a bright future waiting for our children, if we will simply take courage and act.
This is what burns in my heart: a conviction to fight for the Republic handed down to us by our brilliant Founders. I wholeheartedly believe that truth will win, that apathy can be defeated, and that courage can be imparted from one person to another. The fragile flame of liberty can and must go on.
You and I have the responsibility to keep it going. I wrote The Patriot’s Field Manual as a clarion call to rally the reformers. It’s a philosophical and practical playbook to effectuate change at the local level. I hope you’ll join me!

The Patriot’s Field Manual
A Citizen’s Guide to Saving America at the Local Level
We are engaged in a war for the soul of America that is being fought on the battlefield of ideas.
Many patriots are wondering: will the greatest country in the history of mankind succumb to leftist, neo-Marxist ideologies and be destroyed forever, or will we fulfill the dream of the founding generation by following their brilliant blueprint for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
The answer is simple. It’s up to us. Every single one of us, beginning at the local level. The time has come for every conservative American citizen to act courageously.
As Benjamin Franklin once explained to a woman in Philadelphia, the United States of America was at its inception, and will always be, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
Penned by a decorated combat veteran in collaboration with the team that produced the Red White & Blueprint documentary series, The Patriot’s Field Manual is a philosophical and practical playbook that every patriot can use to effectuate transformative change in their local community. The words on these pages are full of honor for the Founders and unashamed love for the United States of America.
The time for abdication has passed. The time for action is now. If we do our duty, then America shall be saved!
“This succinct but powerful book fully captures the ethos of the American founding and provides a practical road map for local engagement.”
— Excerpt from Foreword by
Mary Jean Eisenhower

Some fights you choose: other fights pick you.
When Major (Ret.) William Ostan took the oath as commissioned JAG officer in the US Army, he didn’t know that the fight for justice around the world would bring him home to reckon with an unaccountable government bureaucracy that disregarding the care and livelihood of active-duty wounded warriors.
Raised with a love of American history and inspired by his grandfather’s role in WWII, Will was already contemplating military service when he witnessed the selfless sacrifice of football great, Pat Tillman, in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Tillman gave up a lucrative football career to serve his country, and was tragically killed in action in 2004. Will determined at that moment that upon graduating from Law School he would volunteer as a commissioned officer in the US Army - he never looked back.
During his distinguished 12-year active-duty career that included multiple combat deployments with elite infantry and Special Operations Forces, Major (Ret.) Ostan was diagnosed with Behcet’s Disease on January 2nd, 2018 (due to exposure to environmental toxins). He unknowingly became the “tip of the spear” for a new generation of wounded warriors that would be forced to fight an unaccountable bureaucracy known as the Defense Health Agency (DHA).
As he began to suffer terrible mistreatment and injustices at the hands of DHA bureaucrats, he sought help at the highest echelons of leadership. He quickly discovered a dangerous gap through which countless comrades are falling. All stemming from unchecked power and broken systems. Will has made it his personal mission to expose the corruption and restore safeguards to the medical separation process.
Additionally, Major Ostan went looking for these fellow wounded warriors whose careers and livelihood are being harmed by DHA.
Since launching his nonprofit, Arc of Justice, on Veterans Day 2019, Will has represented 72 clients without taking a single cent from them. He has saved many of their careers and for those Will couldn’t save, he zealously advocated for them to have the best possible outcome despite DHA’s malfeasance.
Will has fought tirelessly for active-duty wounded warriors, both individually and corporately. He has drafted and championed what is known as The Wounded Bill of Rights (WWBoR) in United States Congress. He has vowed to continue advocating until this Bill has become law, so that wounded warriors will have the accountability and due process they deserve.
