I looked in the mirror and had no idea who I was

But it wasn’t because of my burns… ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏ ͏  ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ ͏‌ Friend, This is me in my ACU, or Army Combat Uniform, worn by Army soldiers as a utility uniform in combat zones. It was the first thing I saw every day while I was deployed to Afghanistan… It was a fabric that bound my fellow soldiers and me together… It was a reminder of everything our brothers and sisters in arms were sacrificing... I always knew I belonged in a uniform. Then one day, God had other plans for me. I didn’t know If I’d ever put on a uniform again. [As I recovered over the course of three years following a roadside explosion in Afghanistan, I realized It wasn’t the burns on my body or the scars on my face that left me unrecognizable to myself…]( [It was the realization that I had no idea WHO I WAS without my uniform.]( [But Friend, with you on my mind I have never felt more purpose and clarity in this world! I know that with your help, we can win back this country.]( You see, I served my country because it was my calling. From a young age, I had made up my mind - I would wear a uniform just like my father. But after my injury, I was LOST. That’s when a Lieutenant at the burn unit helped me find the man I thought I had lost within myself. Amy, my dietitian, made me realize that, no matter what I’d been through- I still had more to give to my country and to the American people. That was 14 years ago. Since then, Amy and I got married. I put myself through a Masters program in Business and Administration and went to work at an Amazon warehouse while I founded a company that cuts through federal bureaucracy to provide veterans necessary emergency pharmaceutical support. [And, in July of this year, I launched my campaign for Senate in Nevada. And I need your help now to take this mission to the next level!]( The one thing I’ve learned is that we don’t always know what paths God will take us on or what doors He will open or close. But I am confident that THIS is where God wants me to continue my service to America and to YOU, Friend. [So would you consider chipping in a small donation today, if you’re able?]( Whether you donate or not, please know that I am going to do everything in my power to fight for your conservative values in the U.S. Senate when I’m elected.
