    A German child holds up an umbrella for retired U.S. Air Force Col. Gail Halvorsen, a C-52 Skymaster pilot also known as the Candy Bomber, as he speaks during a reopening ceremony of the Berlin Airlift Memorial outside Frankfurt International Airport, Germany, Nov. 22, 2016. The children sang songs as part of the ceremony which commemorated the airlift which delivered more than two million tons of food to the blockaded citizens of West Berlin between June 1948 and September 1949.
