An aircrew helmet brandishing the Operation Christmas Drop 2024 Jutba Patch rests in the window of a C-130J Super Hercules during a memorial flight for U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Jeremy Jutba - an Airman who passed away during Operation Christmas Drop in 2015, at Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, December 12, 2024. The tradition of OCD began during the Christmas season in 1952 when a B-29 Superfortress aircrew saw islanders waving at them from the island of Kapingamarangi, 3,500 miles southwest of Hawaii. In the spirit of Christmas, the aircrew dropped a bundle of supplies attached to a parachute to the islanders below, giving the operation its name. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Nathan Allen)
