RE: Let's Celebrate World Book Day!
I grew up in Torrance, California, the same city where Louis Zamperini grew up, and he used to come to school assemblies and speak. There is a stretch of the 405 (San Diego Freeway) that runs through Torrance that's named for him...just saw that sign yesterday, in fact. I should read the book I guess...
The book is an incredible read! I could not put it down until I finished. I knew the ending of course, but kept wondering how he could possibly survive. It should be required reading in all High Schools, I think. No one should ever be allowed to forget what that generation suffered for our freedom, but I think that too many just don’t have a clue!
