Defying Tyranny, Restoring Liberty: The First Army Officer and Enlisted Reinstated After the COVID-19 Mandates
In the pine forests of America and the ceremonial halls of the Department of War, two moments have forever changed the course of history. They were not just ceremonies—they were acts of restoration, justice, and vindication.
Colonel Kevin Bouren and Sergeant First Class Travis Guidry have become the first military officer and enlisted soldier reinstated into the United States Army under President Trump’s Executive Order. Their return is not simply about two men reclaiming their uniforms; it is about a nation reclaiming its honor.

Both of these warriors were forced out of the Army during the dark season of weaponized COVID-19 mandates. Like countless others, they were coerced, threatened, and pressured to submit to unlawful orders that violated their rights and their conscience. Yet they stood firm. They defied tyranny not with anger or disorder, but with integrity, professionalism, and unshakable loyalty to the Constitution.
Standing Against Tyranny
When the world seemed to close in, when the chains of medical coercion were wrapped around every corner of society, these men stood. They stood not only for themselves but for every service member, every citizen, every man and woman who still believed in freedom.
They bore the heavy weight of ridicule and retaliation, yet never bent their knee to unlawful authority. Their stance reminds us that liberty is not won in moments of ease, but in the fiery trials where courage is tested.
Full Circle
Today, we come full circle. What was once stripped away has now been restored. Their reinstatement is not just a personal victory—it is a victory for We The People. It proves that truth, when held with patience and principle, can overcome even the most entrenched tyranny.
Colonel Bouren and SFC Guidry embody the very oath they swore—to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Their reinstatement is not the end of their story, but the beginning of a renewed chapter for our military and our Republic.
1 Thessalonians 5:24 – “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.”
Why This Matters
If not for men like Bouren and Guidry—and the many others who stood firm—we might still be trapped under the weight of unlawful mandates and unchecked government overreach. Their courage helped break the chains. Their sacrifice lit a path out of darkness.
This moment is bigger than them. It is about restoring honor to every service member who was silenced, discharged, or cast aside. It is about holding the line for future generations, so that our children and grandchildren inherit a military rooted not in compliance with tyranny, but in fidelity to the Constitution.
We The People Stand With Them
Colonel Bouren and Sergeant First Class Guidry did not stand alone then, and they do not stand alone now. We The People stand with them. We recognize their courage. We honor their sacrifice. And we declare that never again shall our nation’s protectors be forced to choose between their service and their conscience.
Their reinstatement is proof that the truth always rises.
This is the beginning of a great restoration.
We The People thank you, Colonel Bouren and Sergeant First Class Guidry. Your stand has helped save a nation.
⚖️ Accountability Must Follow
While the reinstatement of Colonel Bouren and Sergeant First Class Guidry is a victory, it is not the end of the story. Their courage shines light on a darker truth: men and women in positions of power weaponized experimental mandates and unlawful orders against their own. Careers were destroyed, families torn apart, livelihoods stolen, and honor stripped away under the false banner of “safety.”
For our Republic to heal, accountability must follow restoration. Those who coerced, punished, and purged America’s service members must answer for their actions. Whether in uniform, behind a desk, or in the halls of government, leaders who abused authority cannot simply walk away as if nothing happened.
