Brian Mast served our country as a soldier in the U.S. Army for 12 years. Brian’s service also included the honor of serving under the elite Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) as a bomb disposal expert. Working under JSOC meant that Brian fought at the tip of the spear for the U.S. military in the ongoing war against radical Islamic terrorism. While on his last deployment in Afghanistan, Mast was tasked with protecting his brothers from improvised explosive devices (IED’s) on a nightly basis. While he was able to detect and destroy most of these IED’s, the very last IED Mast found resulted in him sustaining catastrophic injuries, which included the loss of both his legs.
