For any who have not read UNBROKEN, it's a heckuva story and Louis Zamperini was a great American. RIP.

Our local hero. The municipal airport is “Zamperini Field”, and features a small display with his memorabilia.
RIP.

Anyone have any idea how many war heroes came out of the 1936 Olympics? A freind of mine’s father wrestled in the 1936 olympics. He was on Doolittle's raid. There must be many more.

I read “Unbroken” 2 years ago. Unbelievable story of a truly courageous man. There’s a special place in heaven for a man like this.

I read his book about six months ago. Stories such as his amaze as pertains to the indomitability of the human spirit that exists within some people.
May he now rest in peace.

Look up “hero” and “greatest generation”. Zamperini’s photo will be there.

After reading Unbroken I wanted to go meet him - what a riveting book about an extraordinary unforgettable man.

Yes, the book IS inspiring....and Louis was NOT ashamed to share the story of the early years after the war—and how God used a sermon by Billy Graham to save his soul, his addiction to alcohol AND his marriage.
He was a godly man.
I hope Angelina Jolie tells that part of his story, too.

He lived a truly amazing life.
