MY SAY: REP. BRYAN MAST (R-FL DISTRICT 18) A GREAT AMERICAN
Brian Jeffery Mast (R-FL-District 18)
Before entering politics Rep. Mast served in the U.S. Army for more than 12 years, earning The Bronze Star Medal, The Army Commendation Medal for Valor, The Purple Heart Medal, and The Defense Meritorious Service Medal. While deployed in Afghanistan, he worked as a bomb disposal expert under the Joint Special Operations Command. The last improvised explosive device that he found resulted in the loss of both of his legs.
After his recovery Brian subsequently received a degree from Harvard University and volunteered to serve alongside the Israel Defense Forces to show support for the freedom Israel represents throughout the Middle East and the world.
Yesterday on Fox News, Maria Bartiromo referred to his injuries.
His response-the finest example of American exceptionalism, courage, and patriotism.
“Oh that’s just a scratch compared to the sacrifice of others.” rsk
