Early life

As World War II approached Hogan enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps (1940) and remained in the service until 1945. He saw action as bombardier on the B-17 Flying Fortress, eventually receiving a Distinguished Flying Cross, a Purple Heart, and an Air Medal with three Oak Clusters.

He was successful, and served in the 86th Session (January 1959 – 1961). After losing a re-election bid in 1960, he remained in Washington D.C.

He served as assistant to the administrator of the Farmers Home Administration in 1961. He served as assistant to the administrator of the Rural Electric Administration from 1961-62. He served as Midwest field representative in the Office of Rural Areas Development from 1962-66. He served as Rural development specialist from 1966–70, special projects representative from 1971–75, chief of business and industrial loan division from 1975–80, all in Farmers Home Administration.

In 1966 Hogan also returned to Indiana State government service, serving as the secretary of the Indiana State Rural Development Committee from 1966 to 1980. He served as chairman of the State advisory board, Indiana Green Thumb, Inc. from 1975-82.
