When the 12 day war broke out in the Middle East, I was already on my way out
of Iraq.



I had just landed in Kuwait when the missiles started flying.



I was given the option: to leave the country and come back to the U.S.



I didn’t. My friends and my country needed me.



As airspace shut down and the region moved closer to full-scale war, I turned
around and fought my way back into Iraq. I went straight to a colonel and asked
to stay. When that wasn’t enough, I found another way.



Because when Americans are in danger, you don’t run from the fight — you move
toward it.



A week later, the war ended.



Our base was not attacked.



Not because the threat wasn’t real — but because our enemies believed that if
they touched any Americans, the response would be overwhelming.



That’s peace through strength.



Not a slogan. A fact.



I’m Captain Mike Bouchard — Iraq veteran, Army Paratrooper, Bronze Star
recipient — and I’m running for Congress because America needs leaders who
don’t hesitate when it matters.



Washington has plenty of people who talk tough when it’s easy and disappear
when it’s hard.



I’m not one of them.



If you believe strength keeps the peace — and weakness invites chaos — I’m
asking you to stand with me.

This campaign is in its early, critical stage. What we raise right now
determines whether we build the strength to win — or let career politicians
write us off.



Every contribution helps build a campaign strong enough to win and a country
strong enough to deter our enemies.

let you down.
