Louis Zamperini, Olympian War Hero, passed away.

Aww man. One of my all-time favorite heroes died today. I read his story a number of years ago and was incredibly impressed. I’ve followed him and his story ever since

Boys, if you ever need a role model, look no further

Girls, this is what a real man looks and acts like

Wow. Such a bummer. I originally met this man about 10 years ago at an event in New York City. He was in his late 80’s, a complete Spitfire, and a total flirt. People were attracted to him like magnets to metal. This dude really knew how to reel them in with his blunt honesty and sass.

Keep tearing it up in heaven, Tornado. Say hello to my grandpas for me.
