“Phil Larimore was discharged at 22 as a ‘highly decorated cripple.‘ Fifty years later, his legacy earned him a place beside Eisenhower and Audie Murphy” writes his son and author, Walt Larimore, in a recent piece for The Blaze. “You’ve probably never heard of Phil Larimore — a teenage hero of World War II whose story sounds too improbable to be true. But behind the unbelievable details stands a real young man with the leadership of Dick Winters (“Band of Brothers”), the resilience of Louis Zamperini (“Unbroken”), and the courage of Desmond Doss (“Hacksaw Ridge”).”
