HONORING THE MILITARY CHAPLAINS
IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY FATHER
REAR ADMIRAL MARK R. THOMPSON, CHC, USNR
MAY 12, 1919 - FEBRUARY 16, 2001
This page is dedicated to the life and work of my father, Rear Admiral Mark R. Thompson, CHC, USNR. He served as a Naval Chaplain from 1944 to 1975. When he retired, he was the Senior Ranking Chaplain in the Naval Reserve. He dedicated much of his life to the service of the men, women, and families of the United States Armed Forces. His service continued to his dying day. His entire family is very proud of this service to his country and all he accomplished during his years in the Navy and throughout his life. We are honored and proud that his final resting place be in Arlington National Cemetery.

The links listed below will give you some idea of that service and the many dedicated chaplains that have made such an important difference to the lives of the men, women, and families of our nation's military.
