Tech. Sgt. Tanneka Chew, 36th Operations Support Squadron, and Xavier Pinnock, son of Tech. Sgt. Kaia Pinnock from the 36th Contracting Squadron, stack non-perishable food items in front of boxes during the Operation Christmas Drop box build Dec. 4 at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam. The concept of Operation Christmas Drop began in 1952 when locals on the island of Kapingamarangi waved to the crew of a WB-50 flying overhead. In the spirit of the holiday season, the crew gathered what they could, packed it into a canister, attached a parachute and dropped it to the islanders.
