Footnote: Stanley Eugene Tabor was born on December 26, 1923 in Mexia, Limestone County, Texas, the son of Samuel Edward Tabor (1900-1961) and Gertrude Riley Tabor (1898-1978). He had one sister, Virginia Joy Taber Krieger (1928-2006). He later married Kitty Claire Chalk Holmquist (1924-2005), who remarried after his death in 1950. Tabor graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (now Texas A&M University) in 1948. He was a resident of Dallas, Texas when he enlisted (18-073-432) with the United States Army on December 4, 1942, for service during the Second World War. He is acknowledged as having been in action during the Guadalcanal Campaign (AKA Battle of Guadalcanal; codenamed Operation Watchtower), the Battle of Saipan on the island of Saipan in the Mariana Islands, along with other conflicts. He was named a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army on December 14, 1944. After the war, he was named a First Lieutenant in the United States Army on January 19, 1948. First Lieutenant Tabor was a member of the Regular Army (0-060663) as of January 21, 1950 and was sent to the Korean theater. During the Korean War, he was with the 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division when he was wounded in action on July 20, 1950 at Taejŏn (also spelled Daejeon), South Korea. Eleven weeks later, he died from his wounds on October 8, 1950. First Lieutenant Stanley Eugene "Stan" Tabor is remembered with honor on the National Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington, District of Columbia, which lists the names of the 36,574 Americans and approximately 8,000 U.S. Army Korean augmentation forces (KATUSAs) who died in the conflict. Also, his name is engraved on the Honolulu Memorial in Honolulu, Honolulu County, Hawaii (the structure erected in honor of him as his remains lie elsewhere).
