American soldiers took a 13-year-old's birthday cake off of a window sill while celebrating a victory in Vicenza, Italy during World War II. 77 years have passed and the US Army is making amends.Source: CNN

Personal note: They took her 13th birthday cake back then.
The story was amended by the US Army with a new birthday cake on her 77 birthday.
