One More Trip to Find Sean Flynn …

31 Jan

It is not too late to help Rory Flynn and Mike Luering, and Tours of Duty to go search for Sean Flynn!

 

Tours of Duty is preparing to return to Cambodia to continue the search for Sean Flynn and the journalists who disappeared more than 55 years ago. The mission is moving forward with optimism—and support right now will directly strengthen what the team can achieve on the ground.

This is a moment for those who believe in truth, history, and bringing closure to families still waiting.

Join the effort. Share, donate, and help carry this mission of hope forward.

Sean Flynn didn’t just report the war.
He fought in it.

In Cambodia in 1970, Sean Flynn — a photojournalist and the son of Errol Flynn — was credited by U.S. Special Forces with fighting alongside Green Berets during combat operations.

In one documented incident, Sean is widely credited with helping save an Australian platoon under fire, standing his ground when others could have fled.

He was not embedded for comfort.
He was there because people were dying — and he refused to turn away.

Weeks later, Sean Flynn disappeared.

He was never seen again.

⏳ WHY THIS SEARCH CANNOT WAIT
For more than 50 years, intelligence fragments, witness accounts, and field reports have pointed to specific locations in Cambodia where Sean Flynn may have been held or killed.

But Cambodia is changing rapidly:

Jungle terrain is being cleared

Development is erasing historic sites

Witnesses who knew the truth are aging or gone

If these locations are not searched now, the opportunity may be lost forever.

This mission represents one of the last viable chances to search for Sean Flynn using modern forensic technology.

THE MISSION
Tours of Duty is deploying a veteran-led recovery team to Cambodia to investigate long-standing leads tied directly to Sean Flynn’s disappearance.

This mission includes:

️ Drone and LiDAR surveys of high-probability locations
Ground verification of sites tied to witness testimony
Local interviews conducted before knowledge disappears
Field logistics that allow teams to stay long enough to work thoroughly

These tools did not exist when Sean vanished.
They exist now.

WHY SEAN FLYNN DESERVES TO BE FOUND
Sean Flynn was a son.
A brother.
A journalist who refused to be a bystander.

He stood with soldiers under fire — and then disappeared without a grave, without confirmation, without answers.

His family has lived with that silence for more than half a century.

This mission is not about fame.
It is about honor.

fundrazr.com…

Sean Flynn fought for others.
Now we fight for him.

This mission may be our last real chance to bring him home — to replace rumor with truth and silence with answers.

If you believe courage deserves remembrance,
If you believe families deserve closure,
If you believe heroes should not vanish into history —

Help fund the search for Sean Flynn.
Help bring him home.

Some people document history.
Some people change it.

Sean Flynn did both.

We are going back for him.

MailBag! Rory Flynn Mike Luehring and Tours of Duty Search for Sean Flynn

10 Jan

Today’s Mailbag comes from Rory Flynn and Mike Luehring with an import message!

The mission is accelerating as Tours of Duty and Mike Luehring prepare to return to Cambodia. Every hour matters. Conditions in the area tied to my brother Sean’s disappearance are changing, and without swift action, we could lose access to ground that may finally hold answers.

Moments like this don’t wait.

Access shifts, people move on, and critical information can vanish. Tours of Duty is ready—but reaching the field requires immediate support for travel, local teams, and equipment.

Please donate today. Stand with us. Be part of this mission—and help bring us closer to bringing Sean home.
— Rory

 

PLEASE put “For Rory” or “For Mike Luehring” in your donation so they can track donations!

Feed the Veteran Search Team Departing in Just Weeks

The team leaves in a matter of weeks. They’re loaded, ready — yet we still need $4,450 to feed them.
$25 = one veterans’ meals for a full day of searching.

These aren’t paid guides or tourists. They’re veterans and Gold Star Family members returning to the jungles of Southeast Asia — not to fight, but to find those who never made it home.

Every mile they walk, every drone flight they launch, every unsearched crash site risks being lost forever: witness memories fade, jungle canopy reclaims the ground.

For just $25, you can provide a full day of meals for a veteran actively searching for our missing.

Why This Matters:
• $25 = one veteran fed for one day
• $100 = drone flights over a search grid
• $500 = mission-critical recovery tools

Your gift now makes it possible for them to go and stay until the job is done.

When you give, you are there in the field with them, providing the fuel they need to continue the search for our 81,000 missing servicemembers.

You are not just buying a meal. You are helping keep America’s promise: no one left behind.

Buy a meal. Fuel the mission. Bring them home.

Funds raised for a specific mission will support that mission whenever possible; remaining funds may be used to advance Tours of Duty’s overall POW/MIA recovery mission.

Journalist. Warrior. Hero. Still missing.

PLEASE put “For Rory” or “For Mike Luehring” in your donation so they can track donations!

A NOT SO Forgotten Hero

13 Nov

 

 Jack Marino

(1952-2025)

    “I was never afraid.”

So sad to report the passing of  TRULY… one of “The Sons of Errol Flynn”.

Independent filmmaker, passionate patriot, and one who lived, breathed, and embodied the VERY spirit of that man from Hobart- not to mention party-giver EXTRAORDINAIRE along with the EQUAL effort from his lovely wife, Louise.

A monumental task this was, literally- a party of the CENTURY… all executed with grace, aplomb, and ease.

In tribute to you, Jack, I offer up these words… to one of the ALL TIME GREAT “Mulholland Drive Boys”- an “Olympiad” par excellence.

(Epilogue to The Man In The Iron Mask (1929))

“How can they die these bright ones? How may such energy, once released, be prisoned by earth, or stone, or grave. We die as we lived, say they, with life, and with life, how can there be death? Only remember us, only open a little book- and we shall always be with you- to ride a fine horse, or to cross a sharp blade, or carouse with a barrel or dally with a maid- come one come all.

And so passed a brave and glorious man… in honor. Only think and we live again; we live forever. For with us, now as ever, it’s one for all and all for one. And thus it was in France of old, in fiery days when hearts beat high, when blood was young and hate was bold and sword crossed sword to do or die- for love and honor glory then, when life was life and men were men.”

Forsyte is better than

12 Nov

Dear Flynnstone,

in hindsight they had a lot of fun during filming.

“When Greer Garson flung her wardrobe open to change into a dress to accompany Soames to the art gallery, Errol Flynn jumped out of the wardrobe which caused her to scream and faint on.

Despite the infamous practical joke with the wardrobe, G. G. recalled that she and E. F. got along very well while making this film. During initial rehearsals, they discovered they had a lot in common. Flynn had started his career at the Northampton Repertory Theater, while Garson had started hers at the nearby Birmingham Repertory Theater. If Flynn muffed a line, Garson would quip, “Ha! One up for Birmingham, one down for Northampton!” If Garson muffed a line, Flynn would respond, “Ha! One up for Northampton, one down for Birmingham!” Also, when Garson had tea served on the set every day at 4 o’clock, Flynn would join her with his customary bottle of gin, but Garson insisted that he drink his gin out of a teacup.“ (IMDb)

Enjoy,
