LTC Rennie M. Cory, Jr. USA
October 18, 1957 - April 7, 2001

Rennie was a member of Rolling Thunder, Inc. NC 1 as well as being in the active military.  He was a friend, a comrade, and a brother in arms.  To those of us who had the privilege and pleasure of spending time with him, he was a man of honor, duty and loyalty.  He was proud of the work he was doing and asked many questions of those of us who had served in Vietnam. 

Rennie died in a helicopter crash 7 April 2001 along with 6 other Americans and 9 Vietnamese during a routine mission while preparing for a recovery operation involving unaccounted-for Americans lost during the Vietnam War.  At the time, he was the commander, Detachment 2, Joint Task Force-Full Accounting.

 

 


 

Major Thomas Malcolm Stanley, USA (retired)
June 10, 1944 - December 18, 2004

Tom Stanley was a retired Major in the U.S. Army having served 30 years and an active member of Rolling Thunder.  As a member of Rolling Thunder NC 1 he held the offices of President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer.  His list of contributions to the cause of Prisoners Of War / Missing In Action as well as veterans would fill volumes.  Needless to say his spirit and heart made him a great person to know and be around.

Tom loved the wind in his face and the highway under his tires.  Scoot or cage, Tom could always be counted on to be at the chapter's activities.  Generally, the first to arrive and the last to leave.  Quick with a hug and kiss, hearty handshake and a smile, he will be missed by all of us who knew and loved him.

Tom passed away on  December 18, 2004 after a hard fought battle with cancer.  God's Speed Brother!!

 

This stone is located at the Airborne and Special Operations Museum in Fayetteville, NC.  It was placed there with much love from Tom's Rolling Thunder brothers and sisters.
