CATHERINE THOMAS

United States Air Force

I enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1993 and attended Basic training and the Law Enforcement Academy at Lackland AFB, Texas. My numerous assignments ranged from K9 Law enforcement patrolman to Kennel master and Installation Security Manager. During my time as a canine handler I provided security for Several President, Secretaries of State, G8 summits and assignments including Iraq, Qatar, Australia, South America and Africa.

As an advocate for veterans, I currently serve as a Veterans Service Officer and Veterans court administrator for the Smith County Veterans Services Office.

I’m currently working on a BS degree in Psychology and very active in my community, volunteering with several non-profit organizations that serve veterans.
