The Alaska National Guard brought joy to remote Alaskan villages delivering gifts to Stevens Village, Birch Creek and Nanwalek as a part of the 65th annual Operation Santa Claus. The Black Hawk aircrew flew out of Fairbanks, continuing the tradition and safely provided gifts despite COVID-19. The tradition started in 1956 after spring floods and has continued to serve Alaska rural communities. Above is Nanwalek School. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Senior Master Sgt.
