Saw a nice photo of the Berlin Airlift Candy Bomber, 96 year old Colonel Gail Halvorsen.

My dad was a candy bombardier on a C-54. He said the seas of children waiting for those little parachutes was a very emotional sight for all the aircrews and one not easily forgotten.
Of all the fruit salad he earned from '44 to '66, this held the warmest place in his heart. I'm proud of you dad.

Wow, very cool.
I love this page in history, how unbridled humanity became infectious and helped heal so many on both sides.
