Scott and I had the honor of meeting World War II veteran and former POW Louie Zamperini. If you've never heard of Mr. Zamperini I strongly urge you to take six minutes and learn about this
true American hero.

Aircraft used in World War II. Pretty impressive. |
If
Unbroken hasn't made it's way into your hands be sure to pick up the book
, it truly is a must-read. Author Laura Hillenbrand covers Mr. Zamperini's 46 days stranded at sea after his bomber was shot out of the sky, his nightmare as a POW in one of Japan's worst prisoner camps, his personal torment after his release from the camp, and his salvation.
Fly-in a Zamperini Airfield.
This post certainly doesn't do Mr. Zamperini any justice as a hero, as I simply cannot put into words what an amazing man he is. So please, watch the link and read his story. Then, the next time you see a veteran, or a person in uniform (be it military or public servant) be sure to thank them for all they've done and do.
