It was only years after the war that most of the veterans began to organize. Santos cleared a garage and started holding weekly meetings with his fellow veterans there. For the first time, they were able to share their war-time experiences -- "the meetings were a collective therapy." They took to the streets, demonstrating for financial assistance from the government. In 1991, then President Carlos Menem granted them a war pension equal to half the minimum wage. Today they receive 1,200 pesos a month, about €300 ($400).

Experts have been able to read a name on a faded badge on the body of a World War Two airman found encased in ice on a California mountain. But they won't reveal the name until they confirm the identity through DNA, which could take several weeks. The discovery of the well-preserved body raised the hopes of four families whose loved ones disappeared on a training flight in the Sierra Nevada on November 18th, 1942. The body apparently isn't that of John Mortenson of Moscow, Idaho because his badge was found by ice climbers five years after the accident.
