Policeman Uncovers the Fascinating Hidden Life of a 4'9" Homeless Vietnam Vet
Manage episode 377854105 series 3318965
When policeman David Yuzuk first befriended the diminutive Richard J. Flattery living on the streets of Aventura, Florida, he assumed he was just another man down on his luck. Then in Spring 2015 Richard started to share his life story -- one filled with heroic combat as a platoon leader in Vietnam and later, secret missions for the CIA. He warned that by doing so, he was taking a risk. Officer Yuzuk dismissed it as the delusions of a troubled mind.
Then days later, Richard was killed in a hit-and-run accident. And David set out to find the truth about the shortest person to ever serve in the military -- Silver Star recipient Capt. Richard J. Flattery, the "Giant Killer."
