The Combined Action Program continues to be of great interest. Much that has been written about it has been
exaggerated or distorted. I think you got your part of it
right.
- E.H. Simmons Brig. General
U.S. Marine Corps, Retired
Director of Marine Corps History & Museums
As one who has written innumerable accounts in books
and articles how our comrades were wounded and some killed,
I do not believe I have ever written or read anything as
vividly narrated as your chapter, OVERRUN.

Former Phillipsburger authors personal account
of the Vietnam War
Thomas Flynn, formerly of Phillipsburg and
now of New Port Richey, Florida, has authored
a novel based on his experiences as a member of
a little known Special Forces Unit of the U.S. Marine
Corps during the Vietnam conflict.
"A Voice of Hope" has been published by the
American Literary Press.
The Combined Action Company was comprised of
14 Marines and one Naval Corpsman who served double
duty in Vietnam.
They lived in the villages with the Vietnamese
people, spoke their language, and worked with them
on domestic problems. At the same time, they worked
as advisors to the South Vietnamese Popular Force
Troops patrolling through and around the villages
on reconnaissance missions !
The volume follows his involvement in the
developing of one of the first of these CAC units.
It speaks of day to day life in a small Vietnamese
village, interacting with the people, and of twice
being overrun by enemy forces.
The author describes in detail, his emotions and feelings, in this non-political account of a most
unusual tour of duty in Vietnam. He dedicates his
account to all who served in Vietnam.
