Great man, American, read his book several times. Very sad

I agree. He's one of the great Italian Americans. Which is why this doesn't belong in the organized crime section with a bunch of not so great Italian Americans wink.

RIP Louis Zamperini. His story is a road on life. To come from nothing to being a NCAA champion in the mile, to being a war hero is a story worth reading. He really was one of the greatest in our lifetime.

An amazing man and an amazing story. But, what a shame that he didn't live long enough to see Angelina Jolie's film about him scheduled for release in December.
