Stanley was born on December 20,1946, in Baltimore City, to the late Stanley Amos Milligan, Sr., and Doris Anne Milligan (née Rettaliata). Stanley graduated from Dundalk Senior High School in June 1966. During the Vietnam War, Stanley served in the US Army's 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment as a Specialist. In November 1970, Stanley was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service. After returning home from Vietnam in 1971, Stanley returned to work at Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE), where he had been employed since 1967. At BGE, Stanley worked in several positions, to include a lineman in BGE's Natural Gas Division. Stanley retired from BGE as a Gas Leak Surveyor in 2002. Upon retirement, Stanley moved to Fairmount, Maryland (Somerset County), on Maryland's Eastern Shore, where his father's family had lived and worked since the mid- 1700s, and where one of Stanley's ancestors, Isaac Milligan, served as a Maryland militiaman during the Revolutionary War. After losing his home to Superstorm Sandy in 2012, Stanley moved to Dundalk, Maryland, where he lived for the remainder of his life. Nearly 40 years after the Vietnam War, on October 20, 2009, during a ceremony at the White House, President Obama awarded Stanley's Vietnam Troop A, First Squadron, 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, with the Presidential Meritorious Unit Citation, for saving 100 fellow soldiers trapped under enemy fire in Vietnam.
