Transcript of an interview conducted by Christopher Stockwell on October 31, 1985 for the Ray Hillam military history project. Flammer describes how he went to Vietnam as a historian for the Air Force from 1968 to 1969 and lived in Saigon where he worked and taught for the University of Maryland. He also tutored a Vietnamese girl in English, performed some missionary work for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and felt compassion for the Vietnamese people.
