Chief Petty Officer (SEAL) Collin Thomas, 33, of Morehead, Ky., died Aug. 18 during a combat operation in eastern Afghanistan. Thomas was assigned to an east coast-based SEAL team.

His tireless professionalism, inspiring passion for life, and humble demeanor made him a role model for all who knew him.
