Dive headfirst into the raw, often irreverent, yet profoundly insightful world of Mat Best, former Army Ranger and internet sensation, in "Thank You for My Service." This memoir is not just a journey through the adrenaline-fueled highs and devastating lows of combat but also a deeply personal exploration of what it means to serve and then find your place again in a world that has moved on without you. From the humid, treacherous swamps of Georgia to the hostile streets of Ramadi, Best takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, blending humor with heartache, and chaos with redemption, ensuring that every page resonates with an authenticity that can only come from firsthand experience. But "Thank You for My Service" is more than just war stories. It's a candid look at the battle veterans face after the gunfire fades, the struggle for identity in civilian life, and the quest for meaning in a society that often doesn't understand the cost of its freedom. With unflinching honesty and a sharp wit, Best confronts the demons of self-doubt and despair, challenging the notion of what heroism really means in a modern world. This book is a must-read not only for those who have served but for anyone who seeks to understand the sacrifice, resilience, and raw determination of the human spirit.

Talk about an inspirational human being, Jesus. - Brendan Schaub
These were the forces that convinced civilians to thank us for our service on airport concourses all across America, in solemn, guilt-riddled tones, like we must have been compelled, reluctantly, to sacrifice our freedom, when in fact we had proactively exercised it to enlist and do something we loved.
— Mat Best, Thank You for My Service
