The story which motivates me the most is the one of the "The Berlin Candy Bomber", Gail Halvorsen. His is a story of giving hope--in the form of candy--to children during the Soviet blockade of Western Berlin following World War Two. The population of West Berlin was cut off from supply routes; little food could travel within the border leaving many citizens starving, especially the children. But they weren't just starving for food, they were starving for hope.
Possible visuals for my LMC Unsung Hero:
- Chocolate
- Gum
- "Captain Wiggly Wings" (He would wiggle the wings of his plane as he landed)
- "Operation Little Vitties"
- "Without hope the soul dies" (Said by one of the children who received a chocolate bar)
- West Berlin
