| Case Weeps for a Wounded Marine |
 |
| ||||||
| BY MARTIN GERSHEN Star-Ledger Staff Correspondent Da Nang, South Vietnam - Senator Clifford Case (R-N.J.) wept openly yesterday when a hospitalized young New Jersey Marine clutched his hand and discribed in painful hesitant speech how he was wounded 36 hours before. While visiting a naval hospital in this war zone center, Case was brought to the bedside of PFC. Thomas P. Flynn, 20, of 272 Mercer St., Phillipsburg, N.J., who had been shot in the neck and received shrapnel wounds of the left leg. The husky red-haired Flynn was obviously in severe pain. His face was swollen, and his speech came hesitantly and indistinctly. POSITION OVERRUN When Case seized his hand and shook it, the Marine wouldn't let go. Case wept. Flynn told the Senator he was wounded when his position was overrun in the village of Cam Hieu near here.
