Thomas H. Corey 1944-2022: Former VVA National President, Vice President, and Secretary Tom Corey, died June 7 at age 77. Corey was drafted into the Army in 1966 and severely wounded in Vietnam during the 1968 Tet Offensive. “Tom showed us that no matter the hardship, you can make changes for the better in people’s lives,” said VVA President Jack McManus. “Vietnam Veterans of America—and all of America’s Vietnam War veterans—have lost one
of our hardest-working, most-dedicated Vietnam veteran leaders.” [On the cover]
