  • “Pat” Flynn joined the Army in 1943, wanting to join the 10th Mountain Division as a skier. Instead, he was trained for combat infantry. He served with the 157th Infantry Regiment, and saw action in Italy and France. After the war, he stayed a civilian for about a year before rejoining the Army for another 20 years. Flynn would see action in Korea with the 9th Infantry Regiment, and in Vietnam as part of the Special Forces.

    my family stayed at a hotel in Natick on Labor Day weekend in 1992 and the 157th had a reunion (Mr Flynn's unit) and there were some incredible folks there, including the regt Commander Felix Sparks

    It's like getting teeth pulled anticipating the commentator's annoying interruptions. Scraping a chalkboard type of annoyance.

    This interview should have been done 20 years ago. And by a better interviewer. I couldn't finish. Quit watching by the 10th interruption.
