About Tom Livizos
Tom Livizos stands as a distinguished figure in American history, exemplifying courage, resilience, and a profound dedication to service.

He was severely wounded and endured brutal treatment from the German forces, while imprisoned in a French convent converted to a hospital in Reims, France.
