Default The Great Berlin Candy Drop~

In 1961 the Russians cut of access to west Berlin. We went to the rescue by parachuting food and supplies. The pilots noticed hourds of children from bombed out Berlin gathering at the end of the runways. One man had the idea of dropping small parachutes with candy. The Berlin children went crazy. I implore you to take a moment to watch the presentation with Tom Brocow, the original pilot and the Morman Tabernacle choir~The ending will bring a tear to your eyes. Proud to be American! http://www.youtube.com/embed/_vR2wgq0ZMc Originaly sent to me from George Anderson~
