Today’s Star Spangled Salute honors Vietnam Veteran and former Green Beret, Tom Garvey.  Tom has been in the news recently because he revealed he was a homeless Veteran who lived in a secret 20 by 60 room behind a left field concessions stand in Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia before it was torn down. Tom worked for his Uncle who was contracted out to work concessions and the parking lot back in the late 70’s and early 80’s.  Since Tom was there all the time, nobody noticed that he had a small apartment in the stadium with a fridge, coffee pot and other simple comforts.  He often would throw secret parties there too.  Shortly after living in the stadium ended, Tom married and wrote a couple of books including “The Secret Apartment:  Vet Stadium, a Surreal Memoir”.  Thank you for a great story Tom and THANK YOU for your service.

One man found the best way to avoid parking and traffic at sporting events — by not leaving the stadium.
Veterans Stadium, the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and Eagles for more than three decades, was also reportedly the residence of one man, Tom Garvey, who claims to have secretly lived there for years.
Garvey, a Vietnam veteran who worked for his uncles’ contracting business at the stadium, lived in a 60-foot by 30-foot room on the upper level in left field from 1979-1981. Garvey is sharing his memories of living in his “off-the-wall South Philly version of the Phantom of the Opera” in a new book:

PHILADELPHIA — It's where no visiting player wanted to deal with the field or the fans, where Michael Irvin's career-ending injury was infamously applauded and, on a more positive note, where Tug McGraw recorded the final out of the 1980 World Series to give Philadelphia its first baseball title in 50 years.
