Thank You For Your Service: A Burn Pit Story delves into the devastating consequences faced by military members who have been exposed to burn pits, which have been used to dispose of waste materials, a common practice during the Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The documentary will bring to light the urgent need for recognition and support for our veterans, who suffer from severe health issues because of their exposure to toxic fumes.

The inspiration behind the film comes from the founding of Burn Pits 360, a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of veterans affected by burn pits. The organization was founded in honor of Army Captain Le Roy Torres, who served in the U.S. Army for 23 years, including a deployment to Balad, Iraq from 2007-2008 and his wife Rosie Torres, who are the driving force behind this initiative. Torres himself battles Constrictive Bronchiolitis and Toxic Brain Injury, both linked to exposure to burn pits during his service.
