Photos: WWII vet, children he saved reunite

Reunion A 97 year old retired American soldier Martin Adler smiles as he arrives at Bologna's airport, Italy, Monday, Aug. 23, 2021. For more than seven decades, Martin Adler treasured a back-and-white photo of himself as a young soldier with a broad smile with three impeccably dressed Italian children he is credited with saving as the Nazis retreated northward in 1944. The 97-year-old World War II veteran met the three siblings -- now octogenarians themselves -- in person for the first time on Monday, eight months after a video reunion.
