U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Christina Lee, 821st Contingency Response Squadron commander, and retired Col. Gail S. Halvorsen, hold a plaque which displays Halvorsen’s name in recognition of his legacy as Berlin’s Candy Bomber, Jan. 31, 2020, Travis Air Force Base, California. The 99-year old war hero shared his amazing story with the Airmen and as a tribute to his legacy, he was inducted into the squadron's "Super Howl" hall of fame. The Super-Howl was initiated by the squadron as a way to recognize military veterans who visit their unit and have played an important role in the nation’s history. The squadron displays this honor on a plaque at the unit where they add the name of the inductee next to the operation he or she served in. (U.S. Air Force photo/ TSgt Liliana Moreno)
