Some Good News (Both Sides Should Be Able To Agree On)
The Candy Bomber from the Berlin Airlift Col. Gail Halvorsen has mostly recovered from Covid at 100 years old.

His story is inspiring and shows how American Intervention can be positive in most folks' eyes.

The former pilot became famous after the end of World War II, when US, British and Allied pilots made hundreds of thousands of deliveries of groceries and supply by air.

The deliveries included candy, which was released from the plane via a chute from which the packages of sweets and chocolate would float down to the ground below on small white parachutes.
