Fan Casting Rick Flag in First Suicide Squad (2006)

Richard Roger Flag, Jr. is the son of Vietnam hero and posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor winner, Richard Roger Flag. Growing up, Richard began going by Rick to distinguish himself from his fallen father. At a young age, Rick became determined to enter into military service, and so he did. As a fresh-face Army Ranger, Rick was involved in the Battle of Mogadishu or the so-called “Day of the Rangers” or Operation Gothic Serpent. There he distinguished himself and was advanced into Delta Force and later was recruited for the CIA’s Special Activities Division. At some point, Rick was tasked to oversee a black ops fugitive apprehension taskforce.
