Alaska Air National Guard Maj. Gen. Torrence Saxe, Alaska National Guard adjutant general and Alaska Department of Military and Veterans Affairs commissioner, speaks during Operation Santa Claus in Napakiak, Alaska, Dec. 3, 2019. Operation Santa Claus is an annual event hosted by the Alaska National Guard and the Salvation Army. The Alaska National Guard started the event in 1956 and was joined by the Salvation Army 50 years ago. This partnership serves as a way for the military to care for isolated villages. Napakiak is a village in western Alaska with a population of around 350 people. Volunteers flew into the village to deliver gifts, school supplies, backpacks, ice cream and an opportunity to take a photo with Santa for the entire community.
