Why isn’t this man’s life yet a movie?

Good question. His story is compelling, much as Louis Zamperini's trials were and so told in Unbroken.

Happy Veteran's Day to all.

At least a book. I hope somebody has catpured his exploits. I would like to read more about it.

Excellent question. It is because Hollywood has become anti-american, and herioc stories such as this are not P.C. I had a good friend who was the second most decorated U.S. soldier in WWII, yet when he died he only got a local obituary. I wrote an obit on him. His stories and life history were every bit as impressive as this gentleman’s, but the media completely ignored him.

It is infuriating that these fellows are not recognized as they should be.

My friend was Tex (George) Ferguson. If you ever read the Matt Helm series, he could have been the prototype for the protagonist.
