Description
English: Former Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld greets Retired U.S. Air Force Col. Gail Halversen,who flew during the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49, prior a reception marking the dedication of the Pentagon's newest display corridor - the Humanitarian Relief Corridor. The concept for the corridor was Rumsfeld's idea, and Halversen delivered the keynote address at the dedication ceremony, May 19, 2009. During the Berlin Airlift, Halvorsen earned the nickname the "Candy Bomber" for his habit of dropping candy-laden parachutes from his aircraft to Berlin children. In addition to a display of Berlin Airlift artifacts, the corridor documents military participation in other humanitarian relief missions such as the Mount Pinatubo volcanic eruption in 1991, the Yellowstone forest fire in 1988, Hurricane Camille in 1969, and the evacuation of refugees from Saigon in 1975.
