OTB '09

TRAVIS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- Santa Claus (played by Technical Sgt. Dan Allen, 349th Medical Squadron), listens to the Christmas wish of a kindergarten child at Anna Kyle Elementary School Dec. 14. Each year, for more than 25 years, the reservists from the 349th Air Mobility Wing have brought joy to local kindergarteners through Operation Teddy Bear. This community outreach project gathers and delivers teddy bears and gift bags to disadvantaged kindergarten children in local Title 1 schools. Sponsored by the wing Top Three Group, different squadrons each year share in the preparations and do the bulk of the work. This year, the 349th Medical Group was the lead unit. The 349th AMW Honor Guard also participates in the Operation Teddy Bear visits. (U.S. Air Force photo/Senior Master Sgt. Ellen L Hatfield).
