"Unbroken," You Need to See It: Louis Zamperini-- Part 1

From the November 2014 AARP Bulletin "Laura Hillenbrand on 'Unbroken'" by Deirdre Donahue.

"In a 21st century awash with selfies, sex tapes and Kardashians, readers have found inspiration and uplift in a book written about an American World War Ii hero named Louis Zamperini.  Written by Laura Hillenbrand, 'Unbroken' has sold almost 4 million copies in the U.S. since publication in 2010."

"Most of all, Zamperini's story of endurance, resilience and forgiveness after unspeakable torture has motivated people to get past their own troubles and grievances."

Of course, Mr. Zamperini was part of that group of Americans who persevered through the Great Depression and then the Great War, making him part of'The Greatest generation."

I was unaware of his story until his death in July and then i heard that there was a movie about his life about to be released.  I saw it this past Monday and may even go back to see it again.  Talk about overcoming tremendous odds.  And then on Thursday, I saw the Tournament of Roses Parade and there was a float dedicated to him and then the network cut away to do more on his story, especially what happened after World War II which I believe to be a good subject for a follow-up movie.
