SP4 Flynt is on panel 30E, line 025 of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. He served our country for one year.
Jimmy could hit a baseball so far! One day he hit a ball that hit the roof of the gym, which must have been 500 feet away. The ball bounced over the gym and against the wall of the high school. For a kid, that was about as good as it gets! David Canine.
There's a book about my brother's unit published a few years back called "Blood on the Risers" by John Leppleman, published by Ivy books I have talked with unit surivors and it seems that it's a good account of what happened on Hill 875 west of Dak To to the 173rd Airborne Division. That 3 days in hell and how a five hundred pound bomb dropped by the Air force almost wiped out the entire Company C Unit. Neil Flynt.
