The book was great and very inspirational. I agree that it ought to be required reading for students.

RIP, Mr. Zamperini.
For those who haven't read Unbroken, it's a great read.

I would add my recommendation for the book.
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Rest in peace, Mr. Zamperini, sir. My sentiments, as well.

I believe the movie based on "Unbroken" is due to be released later this year. Will be interesting to see how it turns out. Of all people, Angelina Jolie is directly involved, as director.
I'm becoming more tolerant of intolerant people.

Sorry for the duplicate post Smokepole - I didn't see yours... The book " UNBROKEN " is a must read, IMHO. His video interviews are very interesting. Louie in his 90's was still as sharp as a tack! I hope the movie does him and all WW2 war veterans justice.

No worries BT, this forum needs more threads about men like Mr. Zamperini, and fewer about forum members and police.
