TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- "Santa," Chief Master Sgt. Mark Kloeppel, waits for a whispered request in his ear, as a kindergartener thinks about what he wants. Along with his Travis elves, the jolly old elf visited Cleo Gordon Elementary School as well as three others, to visit with kindergarten classes, and gift each child with a bag of goodies, small gifts, and of course, Teddy bears. The 349th AMW's Operation Teddy bear has been giving back to Solano community children for many years, giving them a more joyful holiday. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Master Sgt. Ellen Hatfield)
