Zamperini Scholarship will be awarded annually to a male or female track and field athlete who best epitomizes Zamperini&rsquo;s talents and spirit, so he or she can receive the same opportunities Zamperini received as a USC student.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I had the great pleasure of meeting Louis Zamperini a couple of times,&rdquo; USC Athletic Director Pat Haden said. &ldquo;It was significant to me not only because of what he did, but my father was a World War II veteran as well, and I have a strong appreciation for the &lsquo;Greatest Generation.&rsquo; &rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/news\/stories\/1711\/courageous-comrades\/\">Zamperini<\/a>, whose life is the subject of the new film <em>Unbroken<\/em>, was a high school track standout in Torrance, California, and was awarded a full scholarship to USC. A three-year letterman, he co-captained the 1940 Trojan squad and was a member of three NCAA championship teams. As a 19-year-old, he was the youngest American to qualify for the 5,000-meter run in the 1936 Summer Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>After graduating from USC Dornsife in 1940, Zamperini enlisted in the military and in 1943 his plane was shot down over the Pacific Ocean. He spent 47 days adrift at sea before being rescued by enemy troops. He was detained and tortured as a prisoner of war for two years.<\/p>\n<p>He later became a successful businessman and motivational speaker, eventually traveling to Japan and making amends with his former captors. He died July 2 at age 97.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Louis exemplifies the &lsquo;Fight On&rsquo; spirit,&rdquo; Haden said. &ldquo;We honored him all season by wearing a &lsquo;Z&rsquo; on our [football] helmets, and now we are endowing a track and field scholarship in his name.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Zamperini&rsquo;s incredible story was told in Laura Hillenbrand&rsquo;s best-seller <em>Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption<\/em>, on which the film <em>Unbroken<\/em> is based. The movie, directed by Angelina Jolie, goes into general release Christmas Day.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;When I read <em>Unbroken<\/em>, I thought to myself, &lsquo;This can&rsquo;t be true. Somebody has to be making this up,&rsquo; &rdquo; Haden said.<\/p>\n<p>USC track and field student-athletes were treated to a special screening of the movie Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>HOW YOU CAN HELP<\/p>\n<p>Your gift will help support the Louis Zamperini Endowed Scholarship Campaign.
