>>> Barbara is Gen. Flynn’s sister { one of nine Flynn children/siblings } <<<
Excerpt-By Barbara (Flynn) Redgate and Joseph Flynn
When we were children growing up in a 1200 sq. ft. house with 9 kids and two amazing parents right next to the ocean in Middletown, RI, we never dreamed that we would be faced with the surreal situation we are currently enduring. While we had very little financial means, we were blessed to be raised by two incredible people who instilled in each one of us strong values, very high expectations, and service to this magnificent country. Our dad, Charlie was the son of a WWI, Veteran and an Irish Immigrant mother. After being drafted at the ripe old age of 18 in 1943, fighting in WWII with Pattons Army, and afterwards in Korea he and his bride brought their sprawling brood back to the place where they grew up, the City by the Sea, Newport, RI.
