RETIRED UNITED STATES ARMY GENERAL CHARLES A. FLYNN NAMED 2025
OMAR N. BRADLEY SPIRIT OF INDEPENDENCE AWARD RECIPIENT
Each year, the Independence Bowl Foundation honors one of our country’s most outstanding and decorated citizens or groups with the Omar N. Bradley Spirit of Independence Award, and 2025 brings one of the award’s most decorated recipients – General (Ret.) Charles A. Flynn.
“I am honored to receive the Omar N. Bradley Spirit of Independence Award,” said General (Ret.) Flynn. “General Bradley’s legacy reminds us that freedom and service are inseparable. This award reflects the dedication of the Soldiers, civilians, and families I’ve been privileged to serve alongside and throughout my career, and I accept it on their behalf with deep gratitude and immense pride.”
General Flynn is a retired United States Army general who served in the U.S. Army from 1985 to 2024. His most recent post was as the commanding general of United States Army Pacific at Fort Shafter, Hawaii from 2021 to 2024. Throughout his illustrious career, he held a variety of command and leadership positions, and he has received numerous awards and honors.
General Flynn’s awards and decorations include the Distinguished Service Medal (one oak leaf cluster), Legion of Merit (two oak leaf clusters), Bronze Star (four oak leaf clusters), the Defense Meritorious Service Medal (one oak leaf cluster), the Meritorious Service Medal (two oak leaf clusters), Combat Infantryman’s Badge (with star), Expert Infantryman’s Badge, Master Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, Ranger Tab and Pathfinder Badge.
The Omar N. Bradley Spirit of Independence Award was established during the Independence Bowl’s second year in 1977 to honor an outstanding citizen or organization who symbolizes the spirit of freedom upon which the United States of America was founded. General Omar N. Bradley, the nation’s only living 5-star general at the time, was the first recipient of the Spirit of Independence Award in 1977.
