From Fallujah to Baghdad to Germany and finally to Maryland, the full extent of Flynn's injuries became clear. He lost his right kidney, his spleen and about 40 percent of his liver. He had a punctured diaphragm and a punctured and collapsed lung. His ribs were fractured on his right side. His thumb was fractured and tendons and his leg were cut. And he still has shrapnel "everywhere" throughout his body, pieces in his arms, legs and liver.

May God grant this young warrior a speedy and full recovery. Flynn, eh? It's that Celtic warrior blood flowing through his veins.

He's a hard charger.

Four years and a sergeant.

Good demeanor and great outlook.

Semper Fi.

What an awesomely strong and dedicated Marine!

Not to harp on an old issue, but this is exactly the type of person whom the NYT /spit betrayed with their treasonous garbage. Scum, not worthy to wipe the sweat off of this Marine's brow -- that what the NYT and their ilk are.

Thank you for posting this.

I am with piytar on this. You cannot be "for the troops" and stab the mission in the back. It is the same as stabbing the troops in the back.

He's also a Texan. And most importantly, a United States Marine. 'nuff said.

The video said he's going back to Camp Pendleton. Hope he can steer clear of the JAGs. They might charge him with getting in the way of the mortar round, which clearly didn't belong to him or his unit.

Hard to believe that our own people would take the side of the enemy so quickly and easily.Will they go after the Russians when they close with their tormenters ?
