Operation Christmas Drop

Description:

Senior Airman Robert Gore and Airman 1st Class Dustin Deveaux push out a pallet of donated goods from a C-130 Hercules during Operation Christmas Drop Dec. 19 over the Pacific islands of Chuuk. In all, more than 180 boxes were built for the humanitarian mission, making 2008 one of the largest drops in Operation Christmas Drop's 57-year history.
