For Veterans Day

Baltimore writer and veteran Tom Glenn has some bitter memories about the fall of Saigon. He was there, and under fire, when it happened. Tom regularly shares his (unclassified) experiences with presentations and readings.

He wrote a three-part series for the Baltimore Post-Examiner called Bitter Memories: The Fall of Saigon. Read part one at the link below—and follow along to parts two and three. Good reading material for Veterans Day … or any day.

“Freedom” on NPR for September 11

In honor of Patriot’s Day this coming September 11, Baltimore’s NPR station, 88.1 WYPR, will air my reading of “Freedom” on The Signal on Friday and Saturday September 6 and 7.

If you’re in the Baltimore-DC area, tune in to The Signal on WYPR, 88.1 FM at 7 p.m. on Friday or 1 p.m. on Saturday.

If you’re elsewhere, listen to the program live at www.wypr.org.

“Freedom” is an abridged story from Tracks: A Novel in Stories. It is the story of a soldier who grapples with war and love in the wake of September 11.

After my reading, stay tuned for details about the upcoming Lit and Art at the Baltimore Book Festival later this month.

The Signal is a weekly radio magazine that explores Maryland’s thriving artistic and cultural scene and is produced by Aaron Henkin and Lisa Morgan and hosted by Andy Bienstock.
