He majored in biology and environmental studies at St. Olaf, where he was also an All-American swimmer. Thomas was a conference champion in 2004 and went to the national championships in 2005, swimming coach Bob Hauck told Minnesota Public Radio.

Thomas was a Green Beret assigned to Company B, 2nd Battalion, 10th Special Forces Group (Airborne) at Fort Carson in Colorado. He joined the Army in 2008 and had two previous deployments — one to Iraq in 2008 and one to Afghanistan in 2011. He earned a Bronze Star, a Purple Heart, multiple Army Commendation Medals, and the National Defense Service Medal, among other accolades.

Flag History The flag was designed by Cuban poet Teurbe Tolon in 1849. The star symbolizes a light that provides the way toward freedom and was taken from the flag of Texas. The triangle is a Masonic symbol of liberty, equality, and fraternity. The three blue stripes stand for the three sectors into which Cuba was divided by the Spaniards. The white is for the pure intentions of the revolutionaries and for justice. Red is for the blood that was shed in the struggle for independence.

Flag Symbolism Five equal horizontal bands of blue (top and bottom) alternating with white; a red equilateral triangle based on the hoist side bears a white, five-pointed star in the center; design influenced by the United States and Texas flags.
