I am a former Navy Hospital Corpsman, who served on active duty between 1967 and 1970. Duty stations included three naval hospitals and overseas assignments aboard a Submarine Tender and in the field with a squad of marines in Vietnam.  I am the sole survivor of the squad that served on the failed mission to free our POWs known as SOG Operation Sunrise 1970, which remains unacknowledged by the USN today.

Following my Honorable Discharge from the USN and completion of a Bachelor of Science degree, I enjoyed a career in the medical profession.  I am retired from a large institution, where I served as the Manager, Environmental Health Programs for 20 years.  I am a Life Member of the Disabled American Veterans and author Alan C. Thomas, HMCM USN Retired.
