Louis Zamperini
Louis Zamperini, one of the Great Americans of the 20th Century, passed today. On tomorrow's Independence Day, let's all raise a glass in his honor. He will remain unbroken forever.
Not sure what this has to do with Rolex, but I hope the Mods leave the post in this forum. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Unbroken is a great book...tough to read at times with all they went through but an amazing testament to those soldiers. He led an amazing life.
