Tribal nations, Fortune 500 companies, the military and even the White House on two occasions have hired Vanas to answer this question.

Team RWB Runners Carry Old Glory Through Tennessee
Team RWB's Old Glory Relay, is an epic 62-day journey running, walking, and hiking the American flag from New York City, NY to Atlanta, GA. Today, the flag is moving through Elkton, TN, and will complete 2,090 total miles moved. It's not too late to join the effort virtually or in person along the route. Learn more at teamrwb.org/ogr.
"As I think about the 2,500-mile journey this flag will travel, I'm reminded of the strength of the American spirit and I think about how impossible a journey like this would be if you were to try to take it on by yourself," said U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. John Quintas (Ret.), Managing Director of Amazon's Global Military Affairs.
