Retired Air Force Col. Gail Halvorsen is better known as "The Candy Bomber" for dropping parachutes of candy to German children in Berlin during World War II, almost getting court martialed for doing so without permission. However, after superiors gave their blessing , he and his unit ended up dropping 23 tons of candy over Germany. He reprised his role in 1994 over Bosnia and is hoping to make a candy drop over Baghdad once things settle down. Halvorsen is now 82 years old, but he says, "I'd give my right arm to do it...It would be a ray of hope, a symbol that somebody in America cares. That makes all the difference in the world on attitude." He's definitely right about that; I think this is one of the cooler things I've heard about in a while...
