"Those two sticks of gum changed my life," recalled Retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Gail S. Halvorsen later in his life about the first gifts he gave to Berlin children that gave him the idea for his parachute drops. This undated photo shows a young Halvorsen surrounded by a group of Berlin children trying to express their appreciation for the thousands of packages of gum and candy he and his friends dropped over Berlin in tiny hand-made parachutes.
