During October of 1993, Brad served in Operation Gothic Serpent with 3rd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment in Mogadishu, more commonly referred to as Black Hawk Down.

Brad Thomas left the Army in 2010 and became lost with what he wanted to do in his life. In 2017 Brad's wife had mentioned since he played music all the time why didn't he do anything with it. That same year Thomas met up with Jason Everman in New York and by July 2017 the band Silence & Light formed. In January 2019 the band began to record their first album in Van Nuys, California. By October 2019 they had released several songs online and by December of 2019 the band released their first album "Volume One". Silence and Light are determined to help veterans and soldiers alike, not only with their music, but with the money that they make from the band. Please help me in welcoming Brad Thomas, retired Master Sergeant and guitarist for Silence and Light.
