Louis Zamperini- my new personal hero! I want to say that I will never complain that things are too difficult, although I know my limitations. I am so amazed by what he went through. Because of the war, Louis never reached his pull potential as an olympian, but he reached a potential far beyond that. I never thought that would have been possible until I read the book and now I think I know preseverance through the eyes of Louis Zamperini. For all of our service men past, present, and future- I am forever grateful for your sacrifice that you willing took on. I would not be sitting here writing my blog if were not the work all our great service men to ensure personal liberties here in the States.

Freedom by John Franzen
Definitely a very honest look into our culture of freeedom and the consequences both good and bad that come with it. I loved the polemic style that was woven throughout the book with candid, realistic takes on some of our country's most controversial issues. Freedom allows all of us as individuals and as a country to make mistakes and then it is up to us to learn from them and perhaps realize some balance where personal liberty does not cheapen our relationships and civic duty to government and our environment.
