As you starve fresh milk or fruit babies from women, children that we felt about when I landed my first trip in the Berlin 20,000 pounds of flour and opened the back door at crew chief went back open the door and came alone.

Then run the Barbara looking at me and they were friendly. Why would they be from that uniform right here and it was the first form of gold rush in. The first was there occupation guys later.

Then I found out later why there was a friendly because their aunts and uncles arbitrarily cut off of the border cut off what they can walk across the border, their aunts, uncles, whoever close family thought come over to West Berlin use the library she was going to lost their freedom, illustrating the press, freedom of expression prima travel, freedom of religion elective. They wanted to be the ruler they lost that liberal and they were telling their aunts and uncles. I can travel I can do this.

See Q about five steps. I stopped welding postgraduate degree in international relations.

They know what's important to get your head screwed on a renal start.

One little voices Came back overcame it. Get the Jeep delayed treatment and then I knew and a flashlight. Why, because during the war and after the war walked down the street in a foreign country where kids had some chocolate not much those kids change going on the street interception and surrounded Megan for chocolate, military since the Continental Army of Washington. Once you accounting just kids off the right that little piece of chocolate or hardtack or something because nothing new and then they haven't had a chocolate for month.

They haven't had gone knew what gum was no charge for month and not one of those kids would Lord himself to be a beggar. Something was driving had flower free. When asked for more than freedom, more than himself and begged for something more and blew my mind somebody is left with. Well then after that cream on the top because there were so thankful for what freedom when I realize that holy cow only one child, not one by voice inflection indicated not one reason my pocket just have to stick holy cow two sticks of gum.

Holy cow for $0.30. I get by 30 sticks of gum and they have the wrapper and everything.

But how do I deliver I can't come out here that I get some Germans of the liver. Most kids would get for doing the legwork at that time the airplane floor. My head landed right around my behind and I got the idea I'm coming in tomorrow. I deliver, delete, skip, I can put in that open place and not get enough for everybody and boy in the red light came they got affirmation from the Drop stuff out airplanes like to get a clear and irrational. That's I get in trouble. That's the first step get enough back so I thought well Garvin, 2 million people, not according oil anyway, what's a few sticks of gum I found myself almost horrified same kids who come back tomorrow and in this open place.

When I come in the land. I'll drop enough out of the airplane.

For lion share your full all share that bouncing up and down I started believe they call me back with the matter. You know what airplane year every five minutes or now playing, here I didn't know what airplane because the airplanes from Alaska red noses red tail crashed so they could find him. Airplanes know why had coconut palms in the former, but had differencing for whatever airplanes loaded automotive this year was for engine to engine 247 still for engine rental willing when I come over we can first forgo reasonable income around land whittling boy let's get out of here will start flowing all over town got the movie every documentary, every major producer but out of got my film around the city and took those pictures went back to July start flying at night basic change. Open 24 hours a day, but all I could on the weekly rash and didn't have enough to buy crew and I said I got a rash and there's a big double handful thought talk about your body. Babe Ruth found double mint gum, three pieces, but three parachutes on a ticker next day for that. Not, of course, they of foreign weather was good, look down there and those kids rightly open place will not believe Barbara Francis and told anybody else's wings and he went crazy so she let mine the policy is flourishing emergency flares. Kish emergency in flight fees to chase them off access that was it came with a question about 20,000 pounds, five bedrooms, we somebody seen the airplane perishes in trouble find uptake often pulled parachutes over by where they can get on the field like protection after three have to wait mouth are going up and down.

Dale Halverson tell the story of how the Berlin airlift came to be 2 million people trapped without any means of really supporting themselves parts of Germany that's and leave it to American GIs to come up with the idea one said a light bulb went off in my head.

Let's continue work Dale last after the first drop of about three weeks later when I called him chewed out? On about that long ago and they said okay but you got a report on the Frankfurt press letter Frankfurt on the wall about this news really thought was then on voice, something really really thought this crazy idea.

So I went down the hall and all the news agencies course recovery so they were all wearing press center in Frankfurt.

Pretty humble first look I got a chauffeur driver took me in the Frankfurt. Always guys waiting for me while like what happened then I was crazy. Everybody was talking about when we got out we can back Berlin beds box of chocolate bars gone guys give the ration we figured the overall must've dropped about 250,000 perishes during the course flocking.

We really drop my buddies truck after I left. They kept dropping drop until the end of September 1949 going on that what happened is the American confectioners Association represents all the candy make America got hold of me when I in New York in September 1948 pick up an airplane. O'Connor had me stay for a week in New York appear on every television program we the people one number of radio talkshow inform people about what you like my operational representative American confectioners Association said how much of the stuff you gave me some ridiculous number later they sent 6000 pounds of chocolate bars Bible by rail through Bremerhaven to run mine. I came back Berlin one day an officer met there cheapened the government in Horace Railway spur on my box, on guard what's in the boxcar to ship one 3000 pounds. One. And we can drop them to rethink the entire parish visit will we decided to have a Christmas party we we got that about the middle of December 1948 shipment and put it unloaded put it supply billing for their all-time regard for that chocolate biking newscast on the black market credible value so we accumulate all of the Christian on 24 December 1948 German youth Association in Berlin was the military Christmas party for the kids all mouth. From then on we can we can handle. We had a really drop. Then we drop over the city call. They said okay. I know how they found Elms junior-college Mrs. Mr. O'Connor will will Hamlet project for Shenandoah Canada will type parachutes put in boxes ready to drop ship and strictly mass they had a fire station old fire station that the new info sitting gave a big sign up from operational little 22 schools will alternate China parish will book company donated old sailcloth comes up parachutes about the size and strength to follow bigger client companies multiline cardboard companies gave all the cardboard they've processed 18 through that facility.

By January 1949 and Westover Air Force Base was right next to this one.

The big transport base that supported brine line airplanes go back and forth all times until I had all my squadron. There organized so we had a map of Berlin pens in the map on the best places to drop to the cloud when it was cloudy we knew homing beacon tour around the city for navigation, so we knew were the biggest playground you children most likely filling thing that boxes and pot would take about we quit dropping on them by the end of the runway because the crowd was got to be a concentrated area for the Kincaid guys run the solar start dropping randomly all over the city. So when we come over different parts of the city were one of drop. She should go back and check this Cop car. But what Chuck is up against escape stuff and come out like popcorn blow all scattered all over the country. We drop thousand school I got letters from kids.

When one man in 1998 through the still flying Berlin airlift climate exam. The freedom Berlin airlift historical foundation we make pressure drops a lot. We go there shows old country 1998 we flew across the North Atlantic, but Europe 59 days in Europe there shows their jobs and Great Britain, France, Luxembourg, Berlin toy and Berlin.

When the people would come through here applying to tell amelia go. Sure, they're doing the blockade overemotional Connie thanks for our freedom and wished I and you been listening to Col. Gail Halverson tell the story of the Berlin airlift. After that first drop of his one rated mass for permission while just a few weeks later he was holding as he put it in chewed out. Soon thereafter, he found himself in Frankfurt in a big press conference.

He stumbled onto something as old adage that my dad taught me a military adage better and asked for forgiveness than permission.

Boys no better evidence of that in right here in my goodness, starting the drop in one place created problems. Everybody started to gather then the next thing you know Halverson was worried young kids get trampled by the starving big kids than the drop started to get scattered all over Germany and from 1 to 2000 feet.

Can you imagine being starving and waiting for stuff to come out of the sky from American planes bombed you only well just years before its remarkable when we come back more of the story of the Berlin airlift dear on our American stores with the Starbucks at the moment. So next time you order your morning coffee.

From someone who's never quite been listening to life as a gringo on the iHeartRadio app or web you get podcasts brought to you by State Farm like a good neighbor, State Farm is there will, and we continue with our American stories and was Col. Gail Halverson was there and who in essence got the thing rolling. The idea of the Berlin airlift. Let's return Brickell last left off.

One of them 50 years old, said me 50 years you will attend going school and the clouds were very low: raining.

I knew using radar land and suddenly Alex caught parachute pressures and candy bar Lambright took me we completed nine chocolate important important what somebody in America. Control for Medicare. I can live on thin rash, but not without hope. Without hope sold one little boy is going school. Currently, dear, much parachutes and better weather before they pick him up but he was out of the group away the one lens that he ran in the duck pond after got all mucky with the health they got the parachute chocolate bar they went on to school one very far right headmaster, what is your gun to school all muddy and homeless up in the guise of all that I've got. That's okay. The thing he had to send home a change of clothes that was was excited for their maneuvers. Berlin kids wrote to me and said look we we can't help with the border where Oreo with Russian we like Americans work and some of that stuff become more or less Berlin were catching would like to drop all reasonable and not so many people would be a lot better for us like why not why did you be fun. There are some soccer field and are pattern we go around the Berlin when they'd be playing soccer.

That's what I like the best save the candidate we got over to play soccer in East Berlin kick it out soccer ball and go one direction the kid to chase the ball parachute well break up the soccer game. That was fun to watch. Thank your plan is to look at what's going on gladly quit because the Berlin because the Soviets complained to the State Department that the Decapolis trick trying to influence the minds of young people against the Soviet by giving him chocolate CIA operation.

This government operation that will never govern operation and so I came back Berlin one day? Airplane what you do always Berlin is in trouble, so I got a stocking told me what lockable people in this Berlin copper asked me why quit politics people politics.

I guess a big silly drug addicted to smelling the kids face. I got I didn't think I did anything special in this case kids they could come all whatever you make of it. Somebody else not not not binding on whatever you think you get your cards and all the good things that happened boy or neutral on life.

Don't give credit, good Lord, what made available to weather people do for welfare. I'm not a contributor to society more, Millstone on fifth think the airlift was Camille's reinforcement of things. My church taught me all my life, my family, basically, money is not the answer that happiness the more you get, the more you want is just no answer the open-end chase for the family you that the only way to real fulfillment of serving other service before self. That's one of the Air Force core value service before self, and that's what the Savior caught.

This is why you want happiness serve other density is that because it takes in all a good idea for freshwater is that people that way is a gimme gimme telecom did not cease all and that was demonstrated in Spain 31 of Jesus Christ, a greater love hath no man he laid eyes like her friend or you want to generalize from enemy. Why because service the more you get By helping somebody something that was actually feel for you serve an enemy so service report Eric Ellis the perfect chemistry that is coming. The other thing is the little decision making live important extremely important. More important, the big because they put your footsteps in your mind on the path of the ship. Find your final position and you're down that path and return when the big battle with two sticks again.

Overall, both law principle decision come from what we get impression. Everybody's got a constant spirit would lay varies from person.you got a trigger telling very subtly what you gotta live then you are you new some different miss out on the good thing that can break down the wall between. When you pray for something, don't think that you invented the world by herself and everything that happens to you because of how smart you are and give credit nobody else more hearing hearing Betsy Betsy again but gratitude by stopping him from the lady mopping the floor and office building on the way out quite a good job sure make this place look better if you can see that then wrestled back and that that job is getting better next time and the other the other thing I guess because additive 90% of the things that happened to us, including the airlift.

We knew something about we hit the enemy and be mad all the time we get on with it to get reinforcement to find other doing something with that attitude determines success or failure eternal in the family home in the nation, community value approach like 90% of the things I think that happened we can determine how we feel we have control that one string on the violin. How we react that's attitude and 10% we can send God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can't change that 10% catching the courage to change the things I can know wisdom to tell the difference.

The latitude attitude boy but everything airlift at all on attitude, gratitude, service before self integrity, although things were factored the fearless great job in the storytelling and production by Greg Hendler and a special thanks to Col. Gail Halverson celebrated his 101st birthday recently and thanks to the national archives for the interview and the Truman presidential library is also a wonderful children's book Christmas from heaven, the true story of the Berlin Candy bomber Tom Brokaw narrating the story and the books accompanying DVD. My goodness, how rich the bump in the will of a beneficiary of the Berlin airlift. Decades later and have a grown man say it wasn't the chocolate was important. It was the sense that someone out there. A person can survive thin rations one can't survive without hope. My goodness, 2.3 million tons of supplies dropped in the Berlin airlift. 2.3 million tons was called operation fiddles took place over an 18 month period, and I simply love what Halverson said at the end, the Berlin airlift reinforced many of the things my church taught me and my family money is not the answer. Real fulfillment comes from serving others service before self is what our Savior taught us. Col. Gail Halverson story, the Berlin airlift story story is so much more, including the American spirit and American generosity. By the way we did this with the British as well. Our compatriots across the sea. The story of Gail Halverson, the Candy bomber born on this day in history.
