Doug Served Our Nation in Vietnam –
Now He Needs Your Help!

Douglass Hubbard was frequently exposed to toxic Agent Orange during the three years he served as a civilian Special Agent, NCIS, during the Vietnam War. He now has advanced Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis and his only hope for survival is a lifesaving double lung transplant. Because he served as a civilian, he is not eligible for Veterans Administration benefits or support and is paying out-of-pocket for his health insurance and many costs associated with his medical care. Funding a lung transplant is a monumental procedure, and Doug will need your support.

Doug completed a degree in Criminology at Fresno State College before hiring on with NCIS as a Special Agent in 1968. After training, he volunteered for service in Vietnam and was transferred to DaNang in 1969. Most of his work experience was as a field agent in support of Marine Corps combat elements. He later served in the Mekong Delta, and was both the youngest Special Agent assigned to Vietnam and the longest-serving. In the years since, Doug has led a productive life working mainly in the world’s developing nations, Africa particularly. His illness only recently halted his work in West Africa; he is anxious to return and work with the scores of people he has assisted over the years, and hopeful that the transplant can make that possible.
