About The Author

Tom Gillespie is a noteworthy man who has lived with secrets no one was made aware of. He is not one to brag and certainly keeps himself busy. Vietnam is not his first book, and his previous release, “Silent Tears,” is his story about his childhood which is equally impressionable. He is a simple man who has stuck by his vows and lived a peculiarly secret life.
