You see, it happened in a split second, Patriot
— when a roadside bomb detonated under the gas tank of my vehicle in Afghanistan.
My body was instantly engulfed in
flames.
The pain was unimaginable.
I thought my life was surely coming to an end,
and I wondered how long it would be before I drew my last breath.
But when one of my soldiers extinguished the
flames on my body, I knew God had bigger plans for me.
I stared death in the
face and survived.
Patriot, through the pain and years
of recovery, I learned the most important lesson: Every single day is a blessing and giving your all for your country is a privilege and
an honor.
My name is Captain Sam Brown, and I'm running
for U.S. Senate because I believe with all my heart that the only reason I’m alive today is to serve my country to my last
breath.
