At eMail Our Military we support our troops but what you may not know is that we're quite passionate about supporting our veterans too, in many different ways. That's why when we met Joe Gillan, an author and Army Veteran from the Vietnam War era, we knew he was going to be an amazing person to learn more about.
The more we got to know Joe, the more we loved him. We thought one great way to show our support for a veteran who had just released his first novel was to share a little about him here and do a fun book giveaway, in honor of all our Veterans this Veterans Day.
"Joe is fascinating. He's one of those people you just know has been there and done that and has some great stories to tell. We wish him nothing but success." said eMail Our Military's President, Trish Forant.
Joe is a dad, a marathon runner, a retired business executive, a former sports writer and the vice-chairman of the Florida Advocacy Council for special needs citizens. He's a passionate patriot and we encourage you to show your support to him and all of America's Veterans on Veterans Day and always.
Joe's book, "Just Before the Dawn" is, in many ways, designed to be an elegy for lost chances. Though the book isn't military related it's a great read that 5 lucky winners will have the chance to enjoy. That's right we're giving away five (5) copies of Joe Gillian's "Just Before the Dawn" and you have a chance to win one!
