Today’s #VeteranOfTheDay is Thomas Hugo Bulgrin.

Thomas served with the Army’s 101st Airborne Division “Screaming Eagles” during the Vietnam War from 1967 to 1969.

During his tour of duty, he received two Bronze Star Medals and two Army Commendation Medals.

Thomas passed away after a battle with prostate cancer.

We honor his service.
