Friend, this is what was left of my armored vehicle after I ran over a roadside bomb while serving in Afghanistan.
With one explosion, the Taliban managed to turn a $200,000 military-grade vehicle into a pile of rubble.
The vehicle wasn't the only thing caught in that explosion. The injuries I sustained would take three years and 30 surgeries to fully recover from.
But through it all, I learned an important lesson:
Those terrorists can blow up my vehicle, they can burn my skin, but they will NEVER destroy my resolve.
That's why I'm running for the U.S. Senate.
As our country faces unprecedented threats from China to our open border, I'm stepping up to serve again.
I'm a father, a veteran, a Christian, and a conservative, but one thing I'm not is a politician.
That means I don't have the special interest megadonors that the D.C. politicians looking to defeat me have access to.
I hate asking for money, Friend. But the reality of the situation is this: generous patriots like you are my only means of powering this campaign.
Can I count on you to lend me a hand?
Thank you,
Captain Sam Brown
