Halvorsen remembers one instance when, 50 years after his candy-bombing mission, a man approached who said, “I’m 60 years old, and 50 years ago, I was going to school in Berlin. Classes were really low, and it was raining. Suddenly out of the cloud and rain came a parachute. A fresh Hershey candy bar landed right at my feet.” The man continued, “It took me a week to eat that candy bar. I had it day and night. But the chocolate wasn’t important. The important thing was that somebody in America knew our troubles. Somebody cared. I can live on thin rations, but not without hope.” And that’s the message, Halvorsen explains. “It’s about gratitude, attitude, and service before self. And the other part of the equation is the little decisions you make have great outcomes. Just like in the gospel. Out of small things proceedeth that which is great.”

朋友你好，这真是周末何处不相逢啊，哈哈哈哈哈哈

也够凶险的，他这病拖了有至少一个半月，他这一代老人家是美国的脊梁，刚懂事就赶上大萧条，吃过苦，然后参加二战，献过身，再然后勤奋工作把美国带向巅峰。不折不扣的 the greatest generation，可惜我们在看着他们慢慢离去了
Captain American’s generation
也正是这一代吃了那么多苦，溺爱孩子搞出了boomer这一代败家子
和欧洲一毛一样。欧洲那代人也很多这样的。非常努力水平很高，谦逊又对世界有好奇和敬畏心。后面的一代都不行，take their privilege for granted.
刚刚去读了巧克力飞行员的故事。tears.
Me too.
流下了眼泪😢😢😢
好故事，lz有品味。
baby boomer这一代还是很不错的吧，至少都很富有。
是挺让人感动的，从天而降的糖果，快乐，还有希望。。。
给孩子看了。希望他健康平安。
好感动，之前还不知道为啥这一代人是the greatest generation，现在终于明白了。
